Mechatronics: Fundamentals of Fluid Power
Come to this class to learn how to do the real heavy lifting – using the principles of hydraulics and pneumatics! Power up a system that will take a human design and multiply the force to perform incredible feats. Fluid Power (Hydraulics and Pneumatics) are widely used methods of energy transmission used extensively on industrial, construction and agricultural machinery. Learn the building blocks of advanced systems: air compressors, power units, filters, pressure control valves, directional control valves, speed control valves, linear and rotary actuators, and more. It is recommended that students take the Electricity course or have fundamental knowledge of alternating and direct current (AC/DC). Gain stackable credentials and add to your skill set by earning two Festo / NC3 credentials.

Mechatronics: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) & Sensors
If programming is your thing, join us to learn ladder logic for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). PLCs are sturdy computers used in rugged environments such as manufacturing to allow for automation of advanced manufacturing systems. Sensors are the eyes, ears, touch, and feel for those systems, relaying signals to the PLCs to direct the workings of all of the mechanical assemblies. You will work with high-end products from Rockwell Automation / Allen Bradley controls to discover the inner workings of industrial systems. In just 8 weeks, earn 2 Festo / NC3 credentials and build your resume to a higher paying job!

Mechatronics: Torque
Like tinkering with mechanical things? When assembled parts are fastened together with bolts or other threaded fasteners, tightening the fasteners improperly could cause failure. Consider the importance of a metal medical assembly inside a human body, or the wheel of a vehicle, or an essential part of a manufacturing production line. Breakdowns occur when proper torque is not applied. Learn torque theory and gain experience in torque application, a fundamental requirement for any engineering, assembly, maintenance or repair job in manufacturing, health care and automotive fields. Gain three NC3 / Snap-On credentials in just 8 weeks!
