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.

² Student 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:

ATEE-1350 Electrical Direct Current Fundamentals; ATEE-1300 Electric Theory-Electrical Equipment & Introduction to Machine Circuits; ATEE-2670 Electrical - Industrial Controls; ATFP-1210 Fluid Power - Pneumatic Controls & Circuits; ATMT 1660 - Millwright Theory-Millwright Theory 2

³ Students 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 .

⁴ Some 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.
