Students will set up, test, and adjust manufacturing machinery or equipment, using a combination of electrical, electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or computer technologies. Through hands-on projects, students experience planning, managing and performing the processing of materials into intermediate or final products. Students will begin with hand-crafted products and transition to machine produced products. Technology integration, attention to detail and critical thinking skills are all maximized as students create, program, and control robots.

Pathway Courses
Course 1—Introduction to Mechatronics
Hands-on learning manufacturing and robotics through the history, systems, and processes of manufacturing. Build your own motors while learning about electrical laws and principles, magnetism, series, parallel, and simple combination DC circuits, pneumatic system principles and components, and PLC installation and programming.
Course 2—AC Theory, Electric Motors, and Hydraulic Systems
Extend your knowledge of mechatronics through projects in alternating current theory and applications of varying sine wave voltages and current, inductance and capacitance, motor theory and operating principles, control devices, symbols and schematic diagrams, computer assisted manufacturing (CAM), programmable logic controllers, automated guided vehicles (AGV), and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), preventative maintenance and troubleshooting, and hydraulic system principles and components.
Next Steps:
Dual Enrollment Courses with Lanier Technical College are immediately available to qualifying juniors and seniors that can lead to certificates or degree level programs. We are currently working on two certificate programs that can be completed WHILE you are in high school.
