Eighth-graders from Jemtegaard Middle School inspect one of the hydraulics machines at the Clark College's Columbia Tech Center campus on Friday. The mechatronics program is where electronics and machinery meet.
Professor Christopher Lewis explains how the various machines in the manufacturing and assembly automation lab works. Students who work on these machines can be presented with a number of simulated challenges they need to solve.
The mechatronics program at Clark College's Columbia Tech Center includes a mechanical training system for students to learn more about careers in manufacturing.
