Pennsylvania College of Technology's Automated Manufacturing Department currently offers four programs, all of which are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

The Department of Automated Manufacturing at Pennsylvania College of Technology is one of several technical departments within the School of Industrial and Engineering Technologies. Our mission is to provide our students with the skills and knowledge required by modern business and industry.

The department's degree programs are what we call "2+2." With a few minor exceptions, all of the courses in the Machine Tool Technology major are a part of the Automated Manufacturing major. This major is then the first two years of the four-year Manufacturing Engineering Technology major.

If you want to work hands-on with the latest, industrial-scale equipment, consider becoming a Penn College manufacturing student!
