The rapid
growth in the use of robots in industry is creating a demand for people who
can either design, build, program, or service a robot. Each of these subject
areas requires a person to have a specific, and in some instances, unique
educational background. However, they share a common need for that person to
understand the fundamentals of robotics.
The
Automated Manufacturing Technology/Robotics Program is designed to prepare
students to become Automated Manufacturing Technology/Robotic Technician
Trainees. Students graduating from this program will have broad-based skills
in electro-mechanical and hydraulic/pneumatic devices. AMT/Robotic
Technician Trainees will either continue their education at a post-secondary
institution offering AMT, or work under a team of technicians. These
technicians will install, integrate, program test, troubleshoot, modify,
and/or repair automated systems. Upon completion of the program, a student
can receive advanced standing at the Community College of Beaver County and
most post-secondary electronic schools for associate degrees.
