Join a career that’s growing around the world. In Mechatronics, you won’t just build machines—you’ll help build the future. 

Program Goals 

The Mechatronics Certificate Program at Erie Community College helps students get ready for jobs as production technicians in factories around the Buffalo-Niagara area. The program lasts two semesters and includes 25 credit hours of training. Students learn about electrical, air-powered, and water-powered motors, controls, and parts; mechanical systems; reading blueprints and diagrams; robotics; and other important skills for working in advanced manufacturing. 

This certificate can also lead to more education in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or industrial technology.
