Lone Star College-North Harris is ready to welcome students this fall for the first semester of the Mechatronics Technician program.
Students enrolling in the two-year program will learn the foundations of robotics and automation technology while working towards an Associate of Applied Science degree while learning the foundations of robotics and automation technology. The program will prepare students to fill technician jobs in fields like automated manufacturing factories and logistics control.
“Students will learn how to operate robots and program the robots to realize the automated tasks,” said Bo Zhao, Mechatronics instructor. “Students will also learn Programmable Logic Controls, which are the key components of automation technology.”
The new program also comes with a new state-of-the-art lab that will allow students to receive hands-on training and learn how to program the machines to complete automated tasks.
“The LSC-North Harris faculty and management team have the forward-thinking insight to invest and build this state-of-the-art lab,” said Zhao. “We feel very fortunate we can offer this practical, engaging, and awarding program to our students that stimulates our curiosity and encourages us to learn more.”
