Why our program?
At the K-State Aerospace and Technology Campus, we use an innovative, hands-on learning method, meaning you are ready to hit the ground running as soon as you step off campus. Your classes aren't simply confined to a lecture hall – you'll be in labs and working on experiential projects to build your portfolio and apply what you've learned.
Your professors have industry experience outside of the classroom. They are directly connected with the robotics and automation industry, meaning your education will be influenced by current trends and technologies. Their industry experience also provides you with a built-in network of connections – helpful to build your portfolio and develop relationships for internships and a career!
The rapid advance of technology means the demand is high for engineers who understand automation systems and robotics. The skills you'll gain from a degree in robotics and automation engineering technology at K-State Salina prepare you to work in a wide range of industries not limited to manufacturing, medical, energy and transportation.
K-State Salina uses innovative, hands-on teaching methods, meaning our graduates are prepared to hit the ground running by applying both theory and technical knowledge as soon as they step off campus. Classes are not simply confined to a lecture hall - students break out and apply what they've learned in experiential projects. More than half of learning time is spent in the lab, putting theory into action.
As a student at K-State Salina, your classes and labs will be taught by professors with industry experience, not teaching assistants. Our faculty are directly connected with the robotics and automation industry, meaning your education will be influenced by current trends and technologies.
The Great Plains Manufacturing Scholars Program is for students who want to earn a bachelor's degree in one of K-State Salina’s engineering technology programs and acquire first-hand knowledge of specialized industry technology by working part-time at Salina-based Great Plains Manufacturing. This provides high-level learning opportunities in advanced manufacturing, basic manufacturing, advanced robotics programming and engineering design.
