Program Overview

The robotics program at MCC is designed to train students in several areas related to the field of robotics. These fields include theoretical discussions of robotics, robot programming, robotics system simulation and design. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of robotic systems. Students will develop key skills in writing, the development process, and design to optimize today’s technologies. Students will apply their skills through hands-on projects in laboratory settings and group work

Some of the key areas addressed by the curriculum include:

• path planning and navigation for autonomous robots
• applied machine learning for adaptation of robotics systems
• sensor networks
• multi-robot systems
• industrial robot programming
• robotic software programming for mobile robots robotic system simulation

The primary purpose of an Associate in Applied Science degree is to prepare students for employment. The AAS degree is not designed specifically for transfer; however, there are opportunities to apply some coursework or the whole degree to a bachelor’s degree program. For more information, see an academic advisor and the department chair.
