Mechanical/Electrical and
Mechatronics Programs

Mechanical/Electrical: The Mechanical/Electrical Technology is a new, interdisciplinary field involving control systems, electronic systems, and mechanical systems that integrates product design, troubleshooting, and automated manufacturing processes in the industrial environment. The Mechanical/Electrical Technology certificate is offered at SCC, and students may start the program in the fall.
 

Mechatronics: SCC, along with 4 other technical colleges in SC offers a technical degree program developed with a grant from AdvanceSC: Mechatronics. The mechatronics program provides training for certificates and an associate degree. Mechatronics students train on state-of-the art equipment from suppliers including Kuka, Festo and Siemens. The collaboration among the five colleges ensures students are trained on the same standardized curriculum and tested to meet industry standards. Professional development for individuals already working in related fields will also be available through continuing education courses at each of the five colleges.
