It is strongly recommended that developmental education requirements be completed as soon as possible.
Program Notes: Upon completion of the AAS in Mechatronics Systems Engineering Technology, students will be prepared to take the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification Program (SMSCP) Level I exam.
AAS degrees prepare students for direct employment upon completion of the degree. However, many programs may also transfer to four-year institutions. Students interested in transferring should verify program requirements with specific four-year institutions and with the program head for Mechatronics.
