The primary purpose of the Rutherford County Manufacturing Council is to develop a pipeline of skilled manufacturing professionals from entry level to advanced engineering that will decrease the current and projected shortages. This will be done by establishing partnerships and opportunities for collaboration between manufacturing and educational leadership where partnerships have not existed before.
The Mechatronics program of study is designed for students interested in becoming a mechatronics technician, or mechatronics engineer. Course content focuses on the components of manufacturing systems, collection and analysis of quality data, electronics, mechanics, fluid power systems, computers and control systems, and technical documentation and troubleshooting. Upon completion of the POS, students will be prepared to pursue industry certification at a technology college or more advanced coursework at a two-year or four-year postsecondary institution.
