Program Notes:

¹ High school students articulating into the Automated Systems Technology program may substitute equivalent courses taken at the high school level. Contact your high school teacher or counselor or the Macomb Engineering Technology Office at 586.445.7435 for details.

²Students who took any of the following AT courses should check with the program advisor prior to selecting any MECT courses because these courses may substitute for the indicated MECT courses:

Electrical Direct Current Fundamentals; Electric Theory-Electrical Equipment & Introduction to Machine Circuits; Electrical - Industrial Controls; Fluid Power - Pneumatic Controls & Circuits; ATMT 1660 - Millwright Theory-Millwright Theory 2

³Students entering the Automated Systems Technology program without any previous electronics knowledge should contact Macomb faculty about taking ELEC 1100 before ELEC 1161 and ELEC 1171 .

⁴Some courses in this program are scheduled in the first 8 weeks or second 8 weeks of the semester. Students should be careful to take courses with the same section number in the same semester.
