Mechatronics Program Outcomes

All Workforce Training Programs prepare students to be job ready: technically competent, ethically grounded, and skilled in collaboration and workplace norms.

We support Everett Community College Core Learning Outcomes, in addition to the following program-specific outcomes:

Robotics Foundations Certificate

• Describe what comprises basic robotics in a mechatronic system or module
• Understand the role of automation and robotics in manufacturing and assembly operations
• Demonstrate understanding of terms such as homing, looping, and effector operation, and I/O interfacing
• Discuss and demonstrate manual operations and basic robotic commands
• Identify and use basic robotic programming, editing, positioning and homing in a mechatronic system
• Apply safety rules while working on the system
• Transfer the knowledge learned from one robotic system to another robotic system
• Be prepared for successful employment

Mechatronics Systems Certificate

• Understand and explain the principal operations of the mechatronics subsystems in a complex system
• Understand how these subsystems work together
• Recognize potential or impending malfunctions and contact expert assistance in order to keep the production line functioning and to prevent production loss
• Perform routine, preventative maintenance, localize, and identify causes and sources of malfunctions where possible.
• Read and understand the technical documents, reports and outlines specific to the systems and subsystems, and be able to consult with experts, be able to document malfunctions
• Work effectively as a team member and coordinate the activities with upstream and downstream operations
• Understand and implement safety regulations required for operation of the system
