New Precision Machining and Mechatronics Programs


Minnesota West Community and Technical College will be offering Precision Machining and Mechatronics beginning fall semester 2016.

Precision Machining is a one-year diploma program which will provide students with the skills needed to pursue a career as a machinist in the manufacturing field. Machinists use blueprints, precision measuring instruments and gauges, hand tools, and a variety of manual and CNC (computer numerical control) machines. They create precision and intricate parts for medical, computer, aerospace, automotive, shipping/transportation, petroleum and recreational industries.

Students in the Mechatronics program will have two pathways to choose from which include a Diploma program or an Associate of Applied Science Degree. Mechatronics integrates mechanical, electronics, fluid power, and computer control systems to create automated manufacturing production systems. This program prepares students for technical positions in the areas of robotics, industrial manufacturing and maintenance, fluid power, instrumentation, electronics and process control automation.
