In 1983 Vincennes University began offering an associate of science degree in Robotics Technology. Since that time the program has expanded to Computer-Integrated Manufacturing which includes the Industrial Maintenance option.
THE VU ADVANTAGE
A major benefit of attending a two-year university is that you get the one on one education you need to succeed. At Vincennes University you receive the personal attention necessary to build your confidence and the technical assistance needed to prepare for a career in automated manufacturing.
Tutors are available for help in all courses in your major, and class sizes will be small so your lab instructor will be able to provide you with personal assistance.
LABORATORY FACILITIES
All of the CIM/Robotics labs use the same equipment used in industry. Most of the program consists of hands-on experience in laboratories where you will work with equipment valued at more than $1 million, including:
- Full-size industrial robots
- Allen-Bradley PLCs
- Industrial grade Mills, Lathes, and Welders
PLACEMENT AND SALARIES
Many manufacturing industries visit VU’s CIM/Robotics Department annually to conduct interviews, plus graduates are able to individually secure employment after they complete a resume preparation and interview seminar offered in the department. Average salaries of graduates are among the highest of all graduating students at VU.
Graduates of our class of 2005 received job offers ranging from $30,000 to $43,000. The average offer was $37,324, excluding overtime.
Note: Recommended courses are for the A.A.S. degree and assume any developmental requirements have been met. The A.S. degree is also available. |
