Program Map for Advanced Manufacturing Technology Mechatronics ATA
Robotics and automation are the future of manufacturing. This state-of-the-art training integrates skills in electrical mechanics, computerized components, and industrial manufacturing and assembly to prepare you for an in-demand job as an electro-mechanical technician working in robotics operations, testing, and equipment maintenance.
The foundational skill set for these integrated systems are interrelated in a variety of industries – aerospace, automotive, farming, mining, pharmaceuticals, power and energy, and food processing. The certificate program focuses on skills used in plant assembly sites, warehouse, and service operations which utilize complex mechatronics systems.

Notes on using this map:
* indicates an elective course that is recommended but not required and could be substituted with another appropriate course. For example, ENGL& 102* on a map means that ENGL& 102* is recommended, but any 5-credit course from the Basic Communication Skills list on the DTA would also be acceptable.
→ indicates a pre-requisite relationship. For example, MATH&141→ MATH&142 on a map indicates that a student must pass MATH& 141 before taking MATH& 142
(F, W, Sp, Su) indicates the quarters in which a course is offered, if not offered every quarter. For example, ART 116 (W) means that ART 116 is only offered during Winter quarters
TS stands for Transitional Studies. Courses taken through the Transitional Studies department do not qualify for financial aid but cost only $25 per quarter. To see if you qualify, contact the Advising Center at advising@everettcc.edu or 425-388-9339.
& as part of a course number (e.g. ACCT& 202) indicates that the course is part of the Common Course Numbering System
D as part of a course number (e.g. ENGL& 102D) indicates that the course fulfills the Diversity Course requirement for the AAS-DTA degree

Prepare for college-level math
If your math placement is below MATH 76, you’ll need to take the following sequence of courses, starting from the level you placed into:
- TS 60 → TS 70
Prepare for college-level English
If your English placement is below ENGL 98, you’ll need to take ENGL/TS/AEP 97
Note: English language learners may need additional courses before ENGL/TS 97 depending on their placement.
Choose one of the following options to complete part of the Related Instruction requirement:
- Take ENG T 101 - Introduction to Graphics and Measurement
- Take TS/MATH 76 - Mathematical Literacy → TS/MATH 86 - Essentials of Intermediate Algebra
Note: ENG T 101 or eligibility for MATH 086 is a prerequisite for the Mechatronics Technical Core classes.
Choose one of the following options to complete part of the Related Instruction Requirement:
- Take TS/ENGL 98 - Introduction to College Writing
- Take ENGL& 101/101D - English Composition I
Note: Eligibility for ENGL& 101 is a prerequisite for the Mechatronics Technical Core classes.
Choose one of the following options to complete part of the Common Technical Requirements:
-
MFG T 100 - Safety for Manufacturing -
MFG T 117 - Blueprint Reading and Schematics
Before registering each quarter, check your Degree Planner to see what classes you should take to stay on track. See your faculty program advisor with any questions you have.
