Engineering Technology, M.S. (Robotics, Automation, and Instrumentation Systems Concentrations)
The Masters of Science in Engineering Technology is designed to provide students with an understanding of the production and operations interfaces between electrical and mechanical environments in the manufacturing setting. The curriculum will provide course work that supports the integration of current manufacturing standards. The degree provides courses in advanced robotic manufacturing processes including vision-based systems, and instrumentation and smart sensor interfacing to support the manufacturing process. The program covers design and modeling of electromechanical systems such as positioning of robotic arms, pick and place technology using vision, recognition and feedback sensing, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and interfacing sensors. Class work will include both high and low level languages such as FPGA programming and platform based control systems such as LabVIEW, and WINCAPS. Support courses include an understanding of manufacturing process methodologies, solid modeling, project management and accessing and utilizing innovative technologies. There is increasing industry demand for graduates who can work in an interdisciplinary engineering environment that supports automation and interfacing of control systems to support advanced manufacturing topologies.
