Often referred to as the jobs of the future, STEM careers are in strong demand as
the need for
workers in high-paying STEM fields continues to grow, resulting in greater economic
opportunity
for years to come. In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Career
Outlook, overall
STEM employment is expected to grow about 13 percent between 2012 and 2022—faster
than
the 11 percent rate of growth projected for all occupations over the decade.
STEM Science Math and Technologies at CCAC
Mechatronics Technology
Mechatronics is CCAC’s signature automation systems program where students learn the
integrated skills of supply chain, process technology, robotics/ artificial intelligence
and electrical systems. In this program, students acquire skills and knowledge in
five major areas: computer programming, electrical systems, mechanical systems, robotics
and additive manufacturing (3D printing). Training is relevant to several industries,
including Marcellus Shale natural gas, energy and manufacturing as well as supply
chain and logistics. Students benefit from a technical core set of courses that combine
industry-recognized certification and a quality college education. Students in the
degree program may specialize in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, Process Technology,
Industrial Electronics or Supply Chain Technology.
Graduates of the certificate program may find employment as production workers, inspectors,
testers, samplers and weighers, electro-mechanical technicians or maintenance technicians.
Degreed graduates may find employment as instrumentation, robotics, electro-mechanical,
process, industrial maintenance, field automation, supply chain or automation engineer
technicians and also have opportunities to pursue supervisory positions.
