"We have hired many Alfred State grads with great success. They are prepared, easy to train, and excellent team members." -Jim Morris, President, Automated Cells & Equipment, Painted Post, NY
Professional Outlook
Mechatronics professionals are the technicians and engineers who design and maintain automated equipment. Technicians and engineers conduct their work in laboratories, offices or on-site at manufacturing plants. These professionals work toward the same goal of producing safe and efficient automated equipment. While technicians primarily maintain machinery, engineers are more concerned with the design and development of components, products, and systems.
Mechatronics technicians are a similar classification to electromechanical technicians. Typically, the technician begins work with an associate degree. Electromechanical technician employment is tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/electro-mechanical-technicians.htm
