Abstract

Currently, skills required for these jobs are available through many avenues, but we have centered our efforts on a program called mechatronics. Mechatronics combines the industrial fields of electronics, fluid power (hydraulic and pneumatic), mechanics, and computer processing (programmable logic controller, or PLC, and microprocessors). Businesses, community resources, legislators, and educators are beginning to work together in Tennessee and in Rutherford County to develop pathways for K-12 students to participate in a curriculum that may continue into postsecondary environments such as TTC, Motlow State, and MTSU. Internally, we call this the I-RC, or Interstate Rutherford County.
