The Engineering Technology lab at Chipola College contains all new, state-of-the-art equipment and training systems from companies including Rockwell Automation, Siemens, National Instruments, Fanuc, and Amatrol. Labs included in the program include electronics, mechanical drives, rigging, PLCs, motor control, AC drives, control panel wiring, process control, hydraulics, pneumatics, vibration analysis, data acquisition, and mechatronics. Students are taught the basics of each topic and then expand into troubleshooting, system design, and programming in both ladder logic and LabVIEW languages. Portable tablet computers and eLearning are utilized to enable students to easily port their skills from the classroom to the lab.
