New Programs and Classes for Summer and Fall 2013.
Engineering Technology Programs in Partnership with Volkswagen Academy
Automation Mechatronics Program
The Engineering Technology Division at Chattanooga State Community College and the Volkswagen Group of America Chattanooga Operations collaborated to develop The Automation Mechatronics Program which integrates the fields of mechanical, electrical, control, and computer engineering. This concentration was created because knowledge across these disciplines is essential to improve and/or optimize the functionality of modern engineering systems. Students receive both classroom instruction and hands-on training in electronics, robotics, programmable logic controllers, manufacturing processes, fluid power, and welding. The Automated Mechatronics track prepares the engineering technician for positions in automated assembly and manufacturing processes such as Volkswagen or other industrial settings. Now enrolling for May 2013.

Car Mechatronics Program
The Engineering Technology Division at Chattanooga State Community College and the Volkswagen Group of America Chattanooga Operations collaborated to develop a premier Car Mechatronics Program (CMP) that begins in May 2013 at the state-of-the-art Volkswagen Academy. The goal of the program is to produce the best trained, multi-craft body and car mechanics in the automotive industry through a unique educational program. Simply put, instruction in Car Mechatronics provides students with knowledge and hands-on training in basic metalworking, welding, automotive technology, automotive electrical/electronic systems, hydraulics and pneumatics, protection systems and technical drawings.

Institute of Material Joining and Testing (IMJAT)
Non-destructive Testing Technology
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) refers to quality control testing performed on a material or component that does not interfere with the future usefulness of the product. NDT (also known a NDE for Nondestructive Evaluation) is a broad, interdisciplinary field that plays a vital role in assuring the safe operation of equipment and systems, such as bridges, airplanes, petroleum pipelines, and boiler tubing.
