Micro-credential
The Mechatronics Micro-Credential equips students with essential skills in mechanical, electrical, and control systems, bridging the gap between engineering and technology. This program is designed to prepare learners for a range of industries, from manufacturing and robotics to automation. Whether you're entering the field or seeking to advance your current skill set, this micro-credential offers hands-on experience and practical knowledge relevant to modern mechatronics systems.
This self-paced course is delivered entirely online with hands-on projects to enhance learning. Participants will explore key topics, including electrical systems and circuits, mechanical systems and control, and automation with robotics integration. The course is broken into six main modules, covering everything from an introduction to mechatronics to more advanced topics like sensor technology and actuators. Each module is designed to help students understand both the theoretical and practical aspects of mechatronics, with opportunities to apply their knowledge through real-world case studies and projects.
By the end of the micro-credential, participants will have developed the ability to design and develop mechatronic systems by integrating mechanical, electrical, and control systems into functional devices. Students will also learn how to analyze and troubleshoot mechatronic systems, using advanced diagnostic tools to solve real-world problems. The course will prepare participants to automate processes in industries such as manufacturing by applying the principles of automation and robotics. Additionally, learners will gain proficiency in utilizing sensors and actuators for system control, and they will complete practical projects that simulate professional scenarios in mechatronics.
Upon successful completion of the program, participants will earn a Mechatronics Micro-Credential certification. This industry-recognized certification demonstrates your ability to apply mechatronic principles in various settings, making you a competitive candidate in fields like manufacturing, robotics, and automation.
