- [Narrator] Automated
technology has found its way
into more and more of the
world's manufacturing facilities.
Someone needs to customize, maintain,
and repair these machines.
With a Robotics and Automation
technology degree from UNOH,
it could be you.
With this degree, you'll be
more than just an operator.
You'll learn to install, repair, upgrade,
and test electronic
and computer-controlled
mechanical systems.
You'll build, maintain,
and repair robots in
automated manufacturing plants
and other settings, using
computer programming
and electromechanical
engineering skills and knowledge.
- When I started the program,
I didn't know anything about robots
besides what they look like basically.
I didn't even know what
they're really used for.
And now I can do everything
from tear it down
and rebuild it, reprogram it, master it,
make it do whatever you want pretty much
all from this program.
And it's been a great opportunity.
- [Narrator] Trained
technicians, who have knowledge
and hands-on experience
are in high demand,
and according to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the average annual salary is $57,790.
UNOH can help you acquire the skills
to work in the factory of the future.
- There are plenty of job opportunities.
There's a lot of companies
that come to the school itself
to actually recruit us.
I've had 2 interviews so far
and they're always looking.
- I'm currently co-opting
at Hand of America.
There was an opportunity for a co-opt.
They love to have UNOH students,
and this is exactly what I'm studying.
I'm basically going to work to learn
and to get that prior
knowledge going into my field.
- You'll train on FANUC, ABB,
and YASKAWA/Motoman machines
along with those from
other robot manufacturers.
Using these training aids,
you'll learn mechanical
and electrical automation,
programmable logic controllers,
AC/DC motors and controls, fluid power,
robotics integration,
automation controls and
network integration,
fabrication, and more.
Through specialized training at UNOH,
you'll even have the opportunity
to become FANUC certified.
Graduates will be ready
to enter the workforce
and apply their skills
customizing, programming,
and repairing robots and
quickly solving problems
to maintain production flow.
- They teach you a large
amount of electrical
and programming and stuff like that.
It really helps making that transition
into a professional scenario
being able to take from the classes
and move it into the workforce,
it's a win-win.
- [Narrator] From manufacturing,
automotive production,
building and farming, to product
processing and packaging,
medical and even Homeland Security,
robotics and automation technicians
can work in a variety of fields.
High paying jobs are
going unfilled each year,
most of them are requiring
an associate's degree.
Get the degree that will get you the job,
at the University of Northwestern Ohio.
