The Mechatronics Technician major provides training in a multi-disciplinary field focusing on industrial automation. Topics include electricity, electronics, industrial motor controls, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robotics, AC/DC drives, and manufacturing technologies.
10 completers annually
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
1. use computers to monitor and regulate processes and equipment, and to generate reports.
2. analyze, construct, and test automated systems including electronic sensors, mechanical actuators, and computer control.
3. demonstrate the ability to create Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and microcontroller programs and properly interface them to input and output devices.
4. understand safety codes and implement safety procedures applicable to usage of industrial equipment in an industrial working environment.
This major provides the skills needed for students to obtain entry level jobs in the following positions in the advanced manufacturing industries: Automation Technician, Field Service Technician, Instrument and Automation Technician, Instrumentation and Controls Technician, Instrumentation and Process Controls Technician, Process Control Technician, and Programmable Logic Controllers Technician.
At Santa Rosa Junior College, faculty members with discipline expertise develop all certificates and majors. For AA-T and AS-T degrees, faculty members with appropriate expertise determine which courses align with the C-IDdescriptors. The Supervising Administrator(s) then review the application to assure that it aligns with Chancellor’s Office criteria for approval and SRJC guidelines for financial feasibility and community need. The Majors & Certificate Review Committee reviews the application and suggests any changes to assure that all guidelines have been observed. The item is then placed on the Curriculum Review Committee agenda for approval, and when approved, is submitted for approval by the Board of Trustees.
