Mechatronics Technology<br />
Because industrial applications are becoming increasingly<br />
multidisciplinary, today’s technicians need skills that cross a variety<br />
of disciplines. Mechatronics courses combine various disciplines<br />
to teach students a holistic approach to developing solutions for<br />
engineering applications. Skills found under the Mechatronics<br />
Technology umbrella include practical knowledge in the integration<br />
of electrical systems, fluid power, electronics, computer controls,<br />
PLCs, instrumentation, robotics <strong>and</strong> information technology.<br />
Mechatronics Technology is available at the Harlingen campus.<br />
First-Year Seminar Requirement<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s are required to enroll in the First-Year Seminar course,<br />
TSTC 1101, in their first semester attending TSTC unless they<br />
have completed more than 24 credit hours. Please see detailed<br />
