Slate said. “Mechatronics students are
highly skilled, high-tech trouble shoot-ers.
They need to be self-motivated indi-viduals
who are inquisitive and want to
know how things work and like to work
with their hands.”
Slate sees a growing demand for
people skilled in Mechatronics. He says
transportation costs for goods along
with the increasing pay level in China are
two obstacles for American companies
to go overseas to manufacture prod-ucts,
so jobs are coming back to the U.S.
“Some students are landing jobs with
large manufacturing companies in the
Piedmont Triad area before they even
complete their degrees,” he said.
Companies are implementing lean
manufacturing techniques to improve
process controls and maintain equip-ment,
which is a trend toward predic-tive
maintenance instead of only pre-ventative
maintenance. Workers skilled
in Mechatronics are specialized in pre-dictive
maintenance. These employees
make an average of $25 per hour.
Surry Community College is introduc-ing
a brand new program in the Fall of
2014 called Mechatronics Engineering
Technology, which contains a combina-tion
of Mechanical, Robotics and Elec-tronics
courses.
Doug Slate, Industrial Electronics In-structor
at Surry, explained that Mecha-tronics
Engineering Technology takes
electronics, mechanical, and the robot-ics
part of manufacturing and teaches
students how they tie together.
“The need for this program was dis-covered
in talking with industry repre-sentatives
who wanted their employees
to have a higher level of skill because of
the robotic and advanced processes in
their plants,” Slate said.
“In Mechatronics Engineering Tech-nology,
students learn how to use their
hands and minds to find solutions to
problems,” said Jason Randall, Divi-sion
Chair of Engineering Technologies
at SCC. “Advanced Manufacturing has
changed technicians’ requirements
from a hammer and screwdriver to hav-ing
a laptop in their tool box to diagnose
problems as well as making equipment
run more efficiently.”
Mechatronics Engineering Technology
New Mechatronics Program Combines
Mechanical, Robotics and Electronics
is replacing SCC’s Industrial Systems pro-gram,
so the new Mechatronics program
will contain classes from that curriculum
along with the Electronics field. Surry
is ofering a degree, diploma and cer-tificate
in the Mechatronics Engineering
Technology curriculum, which prepares
students to use basic engineering prin-ciples
and technical skills in developing
and testing automated, servomechani-cal,
robotic, and other electromechani-cal
systems used in advanced manufac-turing.
The program includes instruction
in prototype testing, manufacturing and
operational testing, systems analysis
and maintenance procedures.
“People coming out of high school
do not understand the term industrial
systems. They picture a guy with an oil
can, which is totally not true. So, the
name change along with the new pro-gram
structure is a way to rebrand the
program to atract younger people.
Plus, there are a lot of older people in
this field who are retiring and there are
no young people in the field. We need
skilled workers to fill these vacancies,”
“The need for this program was discovered in talking with industry
representatives who wanted their employees to have a higher level of
skill because of the robotic and advanced processes in their plants.”
Student Austin Hutchens is using the teach pendant to program moves on the Fanuc robot in the Automation Lab at Surry Community College.

“Our area was hurt with furniture and
textile layoffs. Jobs are coming back, but
instead of it being 500 people doing the
same type of job, companies will employ
50 highly skilled employees to run an au-tomated
plant,” Slate said. “Most of the
plant will be automated, but companies
will need installers and programmers to
maintain it, which is where Mechatron-ics
employees will be needed.”
Because of the U.S. Department of
Labor grant, Surry Community College
has been able to purchase state-of-the-art
equipment including ultrasonic tes-ters
and thermography tools as well as
provide training opportunities for stu-dents
to obtain national credentials for
programming logic controllers, variable
frequency drives, process controls and
robotics.
This type of advanced equipment al-lows
workers to establish a maintenance
baseline. For example, if a bearing starts
to go bad, the tools will identify the
problem, signaling that maintenance
is needed before the machine breaks
down and also preventing other main-tenance
issues. Predictive maintenance
enables companies to save on having to
maintain such a wide inventory of prod-ucts
because it is less likely that the ma-chines
or production lines will be halted
due to maintenance issues. Eficiency
created by Mechatronics workers can
be a huge cost savings. For example, a
paper mill in Canada bought an ultra-sonic
gun to determine when bearings
and motors need to be greased, which
resulted in less failures and a reduction
of electricity costs, Slate explained.
SCC is a member of the North Carolina
Advanced Manufacturing Alliance made
up of 10 community colleges and dozens
of area industries in a group that focuses
on creating high-quality training and ed-ucational
programs to prepare students
for current job openings. SCC has re-ceived
$1.7 million to build and expand
its curriculum in advanced manufactur-ing
because of the DOL grant. Full-time
SCC students associated with the grant
receive a tablet computer to use for
class assignments as a part of the grant
benefits.
Slate has been working at SCC for six
years. He is the lead instructor of the
Mechatronics Engineering Technology
Program. In 2003, he started teaching
part-time for SCC, and he began teach-ing
full-time for the college in January
2008. For almost 20 years, Slate worked
for Tyco Electronics, formerly AMP Inc.
He started as a technician in the test lab
and then advanced to manufacturing
engineer before he was laid of because
his job went overseas in January 2002.
He has two associate degrees from SCC
in Transportation Maintenance Technol-ogy
and Electronics.
Mechatronics Engineering Technol-ogy
graduates will be qualified for em-ployment
in industrial maintenance
and manufacturing including assembly,
testing, startup, troubleshooting, re-pair,
process improvement, and control
systems, and be able to sit for Packag-ing
Machinery Manufacturers Institute
(PMMI) mechatronics or similar indus-try
examinations. This curriculum is de-signed
to prepare students through the
study and application of principles from
mathematics, natural sciences, tech-nology
and applied processes based on
these subjects.
Graduates should qualify to obtain
occupations such as technical service
providers, materials and technologies
testing services, process improvement
technicians, engineering technicians,
industrial and technology managers, or
research technicians. For more informa-tion

The College Transfer program at Surry
Community College gives students a
head start on their bachelor’s degrees
before atending a four-year college or
university, and the recently updated
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
will make transferring courses more
streamlined for students.
“The revised Comprehensive Articula-tion
Agreement (CAA) sets new guide-lines
for courses that will easily transfer
from a community college to a univer-sity,”
said Connie Wolfe, Dean of Arts &
Sciences at SCC.
Wolfe spoke highly of this positive
change for students.
“The revised CAA created a new cat-egory
of transferable courses called the
Universal General Education Transfer
Component or UGETC. The acronym is
easy to remember in that ‘if you get a C’
in each UGETC course, it is guaranteed to
transfer to the UNC System as a general
education course. So if students trans-fer
before earning an associate degree
in art or an associate degree in science,
they don’t have to worry about wheth-er
their community college course will
‘count’ at the university.”
The best advice for a quick and suc-cessful
transfer comes when students
know where they want to transfer and
what major they want to pursue at the
transfer school, Wolfe said. Otherwise,
students at SCC can do a litle explor-

ing for a lot less money than atending
a four-year school and trying diferent
fields of study there. Students who are
unsure of educational plans can take
UGETC courses in the first year at SCC. In
their second year, they can select cours-es
that are more tailored to the major
they plan to pursue after transfer. SCC
recommends that students complete an
associate degree in art or an associate in
degree in science before transferring.
Scot Wilson is one of SCC’s four Stu-dent
Success Advisors. He has 20 years
of experience helping students choose
classes and successfully transfer from
SCC to a four-year school.
“High school juniors and seniors who
want to get ahead can take Career and
College Promise courses in the arts or
science pathway. All of those courses
are UGETC approved to transfer to the
16 UNC system schools. They will also
transfer to the majority of private insti-tutions
in North Carolina,” Wilson said.
“The tuition is a great deal because it’s
free, and the course work helps get stu-dents
ready for a full load of college level
work later.”
Students learn time management and
how to deal with a bit more freedom
through Career and College Promise.
Then when they do go to a university
or come to SCC, they have options, ac-cording
to Wilson. “They can take lighter

course loads if they need to work or play a sport, or they can finish their bache­lor’s degree a semester or even a year early,” Wilson said. “I cannot remember talking to a student who had any re­grets about completing university level courses while in high school. Plus all of the area high schools have been great to work with their students on a balanced, manageable high school/college course load.”
Students should work with their high school counselors and take a rigorous schedule of college prep courses, Wil­son said.
“The tendency for some high school students is to take a lighter load of math courses, and then often not take a math their senior year. With these students, there is often a lack of confidence in or even a fear of math. Research has proven that it is better to bite the bullet and keep pushing forward in math while in high school,” Wilson said. “If you are undecided about your educational pur­suits, taking rigorous math courses will give you more options later.”
The time spent at SCC helps prepare students for the strenuous academic environment needed to pursue a four-year degree, which often increases a student’s academic maturity level. Stu­dents can also save money by living at home and not paying rent for an apart­ment or dormitory.
“Surry really is a bridge between be­ing in high school and living at home and then going away to a university,” Wolfe said. “Surry students can save money and build up their skill set before moving away to a four-year school. Students can take introductory level courses at SCC and learn foundational skills where they get personal attention that they might not get at a larger school.”
All degree-seeking transfer students take ACA 122, a course specially de­signed for transfer students to ensure their success.
“In College Transfer Success (ACA 122), students learn the skills they need to successfully navigate the world of higher education, which includes learn­ing to stand up for yourself,” Wolfe said. “Surry instructors take a pro-active ap­proach, sending early alerts to notify college support services when students are struggling. The college provides tu­toring, mentoring, advising and other support services to help students suc­ceed. But a university may not provide such focused attention unless students ask for it.”
Surry also has a smaller class size with a maximum capacity of 32 students whereas lecture halls at a university have 100 or more students.
At a university, students might not have much face time with professors and communicate mostly with gradu­ate assistants.
Universities also put pressure on instructors to research and publish, whereas Surry instructors focus on teaching and publish only if they want.
“At Surry, we are committed to teach­ing and learning. Educating our students is always the priority,” Wolfe said. “We hold students to rigorous standards to prepare them for university-level aca­demic standards, but we also provide a learning-friendly environment with indi­vidual attention. Students get to know
their classmates, and instructors know each student by name.”
Surry is evaluated on how well trans­fer students do after the transition to a university, and historically SCC has out­performed other community colleges in the state.
“Since 2002 when the measurement began between native students and community college students, SCC stu­dents have been phenomenally success­ful at universities both public and pri­vate. That’s a testament to the students, faculty and their families,” Wilson said.
Surry students can transfer to other community colleges with specialty pro­grams, universities, and private schools all over the Southeast, which also follow UGETC.

Students enrolled in Dr. Susan Worth’s Calculus class formed a study group and met in the study area of the new Math Lab almost every Monday through Thursday during Fall 2013. Students pic­tured are (left to right) Hunter Smith, Santana March, Josh Fritchey, Eli Flint and Chesty Peyton.
Continued from previous pageTechnician for Reynolds American where he would like to maintain machines and help design and install the machinery.
“Electrical students need to enjoy working with their hands and be able to think logically and handle pressure easily,” Flippen said. “I would definitely recommend this program to other stu­dents.”
Graduates can do most anything in the electrical field including being an electrician, maintenance technician for an industrial plant, electrical engineer­ing assistant, renewable energy consul­tant, or solar panel installer.
“There is a growing need for renew­able energy in North Carolina,” Boles said. “Mount Airy currently has two solar farms where Surry students have completed work for co-op internships.”
Boles has been working for SCC about seven years. He has 28 years of experi­ence in the textile industry working as an electrician – lead electrician, super­visor, maintenance manager – until his job was downsized, and he decided to go back to school.
He has an associate’s degree in Indus­trial Systems from SCC and holds a State of North Carolina Electrical Contractors License. Boles has a diploma in Renew­able Energy from North Carolina State University.
Boles left the manufacturing industry to enter education. “I wanted to give back to the community, so I started teaching. I love renewable energy and want to share this love with my stu­dents,” he said.
For more information on Electrical Systems Technology, contact Joey Boles at (336) 386-3267 or bolesjc@surry.edu.
Surry Community College has re­vamped its Electrical Systems Technol­ogy curriculum program to offer two as­sociate degrees – an electrical track with a wider application and a photovoltaic (PV or solar) track.
The new PV curriculum is being backed with brand new equipment for training students including a 2 kW grid tied solar system, a tilt up tower for a small wind turbine, mobile PV stations, and a solar thermal hot water heating system.
“The old diploma/certification for Electrical Systems Technology used to be for basic wiring for residential wir­ing. Now, it includes basic wiring for residential, commercial and industrial wiring – covering all the electrical wir­ing phases,” said Joey Boles, Electrical Instructor at Surry. “Someone with this degree can get into any electrical system field. It goes into programmable logic control and gets people ready to be an industrial electrician or work in any type of business.”
The Electrical Systems Technology Electrical Track offers a degree, diplo­ma or certificate. Coursework, most of which is hands-on, will include such topics as AC/DC theory, basic wiring practices, programmable logic control­lers, industrial motor controls, applica­tions of the National Electric Code, and other subjects as local needs require. Graduates will qualify for a variety of jobs in the electrical field as an on-the-job trainee or apprentice assisting in the layout, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems. The Electrical Sys­tems Technology Photovoltaic Track also

offers a degree, diploma or certificate.
“The PV track covers more on the re­newable energy side which is PV or pho­tovoltaic or more commonly known as solar energy. It also covers wind turbines and micro hydropower systems,” Boles said.
Degree graduates will qualify for a va­riety of jobs in the electrical field as an on-the-job trainee or apprentice assist­ing in the layout, installation, and main­tenance of electrical systems.
Both Electrical and PV degrees take two years to complete, and with some of the courses being the same, students can get a double major by taking five more classes, Boles explained.
“A lot of people take the PV classes to learn how to put solar systems on their own houses,” Boles said. “I want to do that before I retire to become energy ef­ficient.”
Shane Flippen of Mount Airy is work­ing on an Electrical Systems Technology Degree as well as an Electronics Engi­neering Degree at Surry. Flippen worked in the manufacturing industry for many years before he was laid off. Then, he decided to come back to school.
“I already had a degree in Computer Engineering from SCC, and I wanted to finish my Electronics degree because I just lacked a few classes,” Flippen said. “I enjoy Surry. I enjoyed it 10 years ago.”
As an Electrical student, Flippen has thrived in the program. “I like Joey as an instructor. He tries to make the classes more interesting. Most of the stuff we do is hands on rather than just reading a book, so you get real life experience.” Flippen’s dream job is becoming a Main­tenance Electronics Instrumentation 6
Surry ‘Rewires’ Electrical Program to Include Focus on Solar Energy Online degree programs allow students the flexibility to go
back to school while still maintaining full-time jobs. Many ad-vantages
of online educational opportunities include the abil-ity
to save money on gas and eliminate commute time.
Surry Community College currently ofers eight complete de-grees
and six certificate programs online. Two of the degree
programs are brand new as online oferings – Early Childhood
Associate Degree and Advertising & Graphic Design Technol-ogy
Degree. Other programs include the Associate in Arts, Ac-counting,
Business Administration, Criminal Justice Technol-ogy,
Medical Ofice Administration and Ofice Administration.
“I think the online program at Surry is an excellent oppor-tunity
for students to get an education
if they don’t otherwise have the time to
get to campus. It’s been wonderful for
me,” said Tina Barber, SCC Online Stu-dent
from Yadkin County.
Barber grew up in East Bend and
graduated from Forbush High School in
1978. She works as a Legal Secretary in
Winston-Salem and has 29 years of ex-perience
in the legal field specializing in
trust and estate planning.
“SCC does not make any distinction on my transcript wheth-er
I have been in seated classes or online classes, and neither
do I. Online classes provide me with the opportunity to com-plete
degree programs, work full-time and manage my home
as I am a married adult learner,” Barber said.
She will complete dual associate degrees in Accounting and
Business Administration in 2015 and is also in the Paralegal
degree program. Her plan is to transfer to Gardner-Webb to
complete a bachelor’s degree in Business.
“I love my instructors and advisors at Surry, most of whom I
have never met face-to-face, but with whom I have developed
good relationships. I feel like they are all interested in my suc-cess,
and many of them have encouraged me through some
difficult times,” Barber said.
SCC Student Brad Easter of Mount Airy had doors open for
him when he discovered he could pur-sue
an online degree through his local
community college. He wants to be an
inspiration to his three children and wife
in pursuing the Business degree that he
has always wanted. He stays at home
with the kids as he works to earn his de-gree.
“My options were limited but my will-ingness
to succeed was very high, so
I had to find something to match that.
Surry’s online program was a perfect fit,” Easter said. “I’m
working on this degree from home, but I still have all the re-sources
of Surry. I feel even though I am not on campus, I feel
like I am a part of Surry.”
In particular, Easter likes the interaction of online classes.
“You really do feel like you are in a classroom when you get in
the discussion forums,” Easter said. “Also, a lot of instructors
are recording the classroom lectures and then posting videos
for the online students, which has been beneficial.”
Tyler Pruit, another SCC Online Stu-dent,
said flexibility was the most im-portant
item for him in furthering his
education. His increasing job responsi-bilities
were the impetus for going back
to school.
“It was just impossible for me to actu-ally
make time to make it to school. So
online was a perfect fit for me,” Pruitt
said. “I’ve been married for five years.
I’ve got two small children. I work full
time as a branch manager. Time is very rare to me. So, I would
not have been able to do it without online classes.”
Pruit has goten great responses from his instructors and
recommends the online classes at Surry.
“All my instructors have been super great. They respond so
quickly that it’s almost as if I was siting in class with them,” he
said.
Pruitt, of Mount Airy, works at Collins & McNeely Pest Con-trol.
He graduated from North Surry High School in 2006. He
recently completed an associate’s degree in Business Adminis-tration
at SCC through the online program.
