Discover Smart Manufacturing - The Future of the Industry

Smart manufacturing is revolutionizing productivity, quality, safety and efficiency in the industrial sector. As robotics and automation technology continue to advance, the demand for a highly skilled workforce in operations, automation, industrial IT and cybersecurity is skyrocketing.

To meet the demand for a multidimensional workforce, Tri-C partnered with industry leaders to develop a four-year degree, the Bachelor of Applied Science in Integrated Digital Manufacturing Engineering Technology (IDMET), and a two-year degree, the Associate of Applied Science in Mechatronics. Both of these degrees fall under the broader category of smart manufacturing.

Whether you’re new to the field or looking to upskill, this program provides comprehensive knowledge in:

  • Automated systems
  • Electrical, mechanical and network engineering
  • Industrial information technology
  • Cybersecurity
  • Cloud security
  • Enterprise security

Program Highlights:

  • Affordable Tuition: Save significantly — Tri-C’s tuition is 25% less than traditional four-year schools.
  • Expert Instructors: Learn from faculty with years of hands-on experience.
  • Real-World Experience: Gain practical skills through internships.
  • Flexible Learning Options: Choose from online and on-site classes.
  • Career Support: Benefit from job placement assistance and employer connections.
  • Financial Aid: Access scholarships and financial assistance to help fund your education.*

With more than 30 certifications embedded in the four-year degree, you can explore diverse career pathways and graduate with the skills needed for immediate employment in the dynamic field of smart manufacturing.

*Engineering-specific scholarships, as well as scholarships for minority groups, may be available.
