Electronics, photonics and MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) are fundamental to the operation of most of today’s products and infrastructure. CNM’s Advanced Systems Technology program enables its students to succeed in all three technologies making its graduates well prepared to contribute to these high tech industries.
The Automation and Telecommunication concentration provides its students with the analog and digital theory and hands-on experience to get them started in the high tech career of industrial automation and control, and the fast growing telecommunications industry. Robotic automation, microcontroller, PLD programming and systems troubleshooting drive the hands-on experiments done in each of the courses taught in this program.
The Advanced Systems Technology Automation and Communication Concentration provides the opportunity to obtain Certifications in fields such as electronic assembly, PC maintenance, LabVIEW programming, and the numerous fields listed under the Electronics Technicians Association, as well as an Associate degree.
Many of our courses are transferable to four-year degree programs, and CNM currently has transfer agreements with many colleges and universities in New Mexico and elsewhere.
