How Can We Help?
Automated Industrial Technology (AIT) is the behind-the-scenes tech that keeps modern manufacturing running — from robotics and sensors to smart machines on the factory floor. If you like figuring out how things work, solving problems and working with your hands and your head, AIT could be your perfect fit. Pima’s AIT program is designed for students who enjoy systems, diagrams and the science behind how machines operate.
You’ll get hands-on training in real lab settings and prepare for industry-recognized National Institute of Metalworking (NIMS) certifications — national credentials that open doors in advanced manufacturing across the U.S. Pima’s AIT program gives you options: start with a certificate, then build on your skills as you earn a degree and move closer to your career goals.
Whether you’re just getting started or ready to level up, this program puts you on track for a future-ready career that’s in demand, high-tech and full of potential.
Completing our Automated Industrial Technology program prepares you for careers like Electro-Mechanical Technician or Industrial Engineering Technician, as well as roles in:
- Robotics
- Product assembly
- Electric vehicles
- Defense
- Manufacturing
