Introduction to Mechatronics

Introduction to Mechatronics is an online, on-demand 35-hour course for learners who are interested in a career in mechatronics and advanced manufacturing and have little to no experience in the field. Learners can work at their own pace, and a learner who spends about 8 hours a week on the course will complete the course in 4-5 weeks. 

This course provides an intensive introduction to the skills necessary in the mechatronics industry including math, inspection, safety, quality, electrical systems, automation, mechanical systems, and fluid systems. Mechatronics-driven jobs are sometimes advertised as robotics technicians, equipment maintenance technicians, or even machine technicians. Companies like General Mills, General Foods, Target, Amazon, Frontier Airlines, Black + Decker, and other advanced manufacturing companies hire critical roles in mechatronics.
