Electronics Engineering
Controls Engineering
The Controls Engineering
program prepares students for design, interface, installation, and
troubleshooting of industrial control systems.
Emphasis is on electronics, electrical controls, motors,
programmable logic controllers, servo systems, robotics, hydraulics
and pneumatics, and mechanical systems.
Students will integrate electronics and electrical controls
with mechanical systems and programmable controllers and explore
alternative trade-offs in the process of problem-solving and
troubleshooting.
Graduates of this program can
function as industrial controls technicians and engineers, electronics
installation and repair specialists, automation specialists,
maintenance systems technicians, PLC programmers, robotics
technicians, and applications engineers.
A person must have a comprehensive understanding of
electronics, electrical controls, motors, PLC programming, hydraulics
and pneumatics and mechanical systems to work at this level in
business and industry.
