The Advanced Manufacturing Technology – Mechatronics Program is part of a cluster of programs. Five Associate in Technical Arts degrees and nine certificates in Advanced Manufacturing Technology are offered, and may be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis at Everett Community College (EvCC). In addition to the Student Core Learning Outcomes, the Program Specific Outcomes include: • 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 systems and subsystems; be able to consult with experts; and be able to document malfunctions. • Work effectively as a team member and coordinate the activities with upstream and downstream operations.
