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.
