Mechatronics Technology: Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS)
One-Year Technical Certificate - Curriculum Code 6510
The Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) One-Year Technical Certificate is structured to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work as an entry-level technician. Training is provided in the fundmanetal concepts of micro-electromechanical systems and how these devices are designed and fabricated. The student will learn and apply principles in actual cleanroom activities. The program will utilize state-of-the-art laboratory facilities containing equipment for testing, troubleshooting, calibrating, analyzing and designing electronic and MEMS systems. Every course in the One-Year Technical Certificate can be applied to the two year Associate of Applied Science degree in the MEMS Major of the Mechatronics Program. Lorain County Community College has articulation agreements with colleges and universities including programs offered by Lorain County Community College's University Partnership.
