Item Name
Robotics Technology AAS Degree Program Option
THAT
Item info
This Proposal is to add a program option, Robotics Technology, to the existing Electronics Technology
program.
EXPLANATION
Item Explanation
Recent AAIP (Academic Alignment and Innovation Program) report recommended that the Electronics Technology
program “create new program options” to strengthen the program and to attract more students to the program.
The Robotics Technology is a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program.
The Robotics Technology Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree program prepares students for careers as an
electronic engineering technician or manufacturing technician in all sectors of engineering technology industry in which
electronic and robotic devices and systems are employed. In addition, the program provides the opportunities for the
graduates to continue their study to a 4-year baccalaureate university in engineering or engineering technology.
The addition of Robotics Technology to the existing Electronics Technology program will better meet the needs of
students in engineering technology, which is in alignment with the strategic plans of UM 2020: Building a University for
the Global Century. With the Robotics Technology program, we expect to promote the enrollment, enhance student
learning, and improve retention, success and graduation rates in the Electronics Technology program.
