Mechatronics at SCC Corporate & Community Education

A widely accepted career in Europe since the nineties, Mechatronics has only recently been recognized as a new training opportunity in Upstate South Carolina. The term Mechatronics refers to an interdisciplinary field involving control systems, electronic systems, computers and mechanical systems that integrates product design and automated manufacturing processes. Because industrial applications are becoming more and more complex, industries need technicians with skills that cross a variety of disciplines. Many existing job categories currently or will soon require mechatronics skills and problem solving abilities for professionals who design, implement, manufacture, service and repair a wide array of equipment.
