The AET program trains in the following areas: electrical wiring, automatic control systems, AC/DC controls, motors and motor controls, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Programmable Automation Controller (PAC), Human Machine Interface (HMI), Graphical User Interface (GUI) functions, and process control equipment. Because of their highly skilled, hands-on training, AET graduates are in high demand in many industries.

Mechatronics is a hybrid discipline that utilizes mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and principles of computer science to design and produce complex, computer-controlled electromechanical systems. Graduates will have skills in electronics, PLC programming, sensors, mechanical design, and more.
