Robotics & Manufacturing

Modern manufacturing brings together numerous technologically-advanced careers, including robotics and controls, electronics, drafting and design, machining, and welding. With a globally competitive workforce—especially here in Minnesota—manufacturing companies are always looking for workers with the technical and business skills to help them stay ahead of the pack.

Robotics & Manufacturing tends to attract those who have the curiosity and willingness to experiment. They like to try new things, fail, and then problem-solve until they arrive at the optimal solution. They like to pursue the satisfaction that comes with designing a product, process, or system and see it come to life in a tangible way.

Students prepare for a wide variety of design, technology, and engineering positions, creating high-precision, high-quality products across a range of industries. Students master the latest technologies from several disciplines and collaborate with students from across the College.
