Electrical/Electronic Automated Systems (EEAS)

  • Architecture, Manufacturing & Automotive

Automated manufacturing can be complex because it uses mechanical, electrical and computer technologies, and JJC's program will prepare students to troubleshoot, repair and complete preventative maintenance on these complex automated systems.

What Will I Learn?

Students in JJC’s EEAS program learn how to operate automation equipment using minimal human contact. Warehousing, utilities, petrochemical refineries, manufacturing and food processing all require highly skilled technicians who know how to run robotic machines efficiently.
