Instrumentation, Automation & Robotics Technology

The objective of the Instrumentation, Automation & Robotics Technology (INDUS) program is to provide students with a broad base of knowledge and skills for employment as entry-level technicians in the industrial and automation industries. The curriculum includes Training includes instruction in programmable logic controllers, transmitters, transducers, recorders, and controllers. This training program concludes with an externship off campus or with the completion of a capstone project on campus. 

Graduates of the Instrumentation, Automation & Robotics Technology program find career opportunities in fields such as Aerospace, Agriculture, Energy, Manufacturing, Mining and Refining, Pharmaceuticals, Semi-Conductor Technology, and much more. From retro-fitting and maintaining industrial equipment to installing and upgrading controls systems, your skills and knowledge may help define your key role within the organization. 

The INDUS program is 24 months in length (eight quarters). The student will earn 159.0 credit hours which are 2,688 clock hours. 

The student to instructor ratio for the INDUS program is no greater than 24:1.
