The Certificate of Achievement in Mechatronics Engineering Technology prepares students to work in an engineering industry to design, create, build, troubleshoot, repair, maintain, and enhance any electromechanical systems which use automation including robotics.  Students completing this program will be well versed in the principles of operation of integrated electronic, electrical, and mechanical components and systems through the use of computer controls.  This mastery will be accomplished by engaging the students in contextualized and experiential learning where the foundational principles in mechatronics engineering will be linked to concrete, real-world applications through practicums and industry internships.  To earn a Certificate of Achievement in Mechatronics Engineering Technology students must complete 26-29 specified units and will be encouraged to participate in a one semester paid or unpaid internship with a Moorpark College affiliated industry.

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to: 

• demonstrate the skills and the knowledge necessary to apply deductive and inductive reasoning to analyze problems and synthesize solutions to automated integrated electromechanical systems issues.
• demonstrate the ability to work as a team member, to communicate effectively with others, and to show individual judgement in determining potential issues and problems.
