The Career
Packaging and manufacturing are among the largest industries in the
United States. Long-sustained growth in these advanced technologies has
created a need for highly-trained automated packaging, manufacturing and
robotics technicians. Technologies such as optical and proximity sensors,
programmable controllers, and industrial robotics require highly specialized
training. Automated systems and robotics technicians are an integral part
of the team needed by modern automated manufacturing and packaging
firms. Dunwoody graduates find abundant opportunities as equipment
troubleshooters, machine builders, field service technicians, applications
specialists and machine control specialists.
The Program
Dunwoody’s Automated Systems and Robotics program provides
students with the knowledge of mechanical systems, electronic sensors,
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), robotics, motion-control systems
and more. In this program, students will work with real industrial robots
located on the Dunwoody campus. Dunwoody uses standards and
curriculum set forth by the PMMI (Packaging Machinery Manufacturers
Institute), the IoPP (Institute of Packaging Professionals), RIA (Robotics
Industry Association), the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association),
the ISA (Instrumentation Society of America) and other national trade
organizations.
Program Length
Graduates of this six-quarter program earn an Associate of Applied
Science (A.A.S.) degree.
