Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of science that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications engineering, systems engineering, and control engineering. These include wiring circuits, reading electrical and mechanical blueprints, troubleshooting and repairing electro-mechanical systems, using the tools/equipment of the industry, and understanding the safety standards for each operation. Understanding robotics is an important part of Mechatronics. Students successfully completing this coursework will have the ability to earn a micro-credential as well as 8-credits toward the Mechatronics Program at HACC – Gettysburg.
