Step into the future of industry with the Casper College manufacturing and automation technology program. As modern manufacturing shifts toward high-tech, automated environments, the demand for skilled technicians who can bridge the gap between mechanical hardware and digital control systems has never been higher. Whether you are a traditional student fascinated by robotics or a nontraditional worker looking to pivot into the tech-heavy industrial sector, our program provides the expertise you need. You will learn to design parts using 3D modeling, and maintain the complex Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems that run today’s factories.
We offer a career-oriented associate degree and a specialized certificate to help you master the tools of the modern industrial revolution.
Casper College is a national leader in “affordable excellence,” consistently ranking as one of the best values for higher education in Wyoming. We are committed to helping you understand the investment you are making in your future by providing transparent cost information and personalized support. While individual costs vary based on residency and course load, many students use a combination of federal grants, the Hathaway Scholarship, and other funding sources to help manage their educational expenses.
We encourage you to use our net price calculator and contact our financial aid office for a customized estimate of your costs and aid eligibility.
Graduates are prepared for high-wage roles in Wyoming’s energy, aerospace, and medical technology manufacturing sectors.
Casper College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Our manufacturing curriculum is developed in alignment with industry demands, incorporating advanced technologies like “cobots” (collaborative robots) to meet national manufacturing standards.
While the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) is primarily a workforce-ready degree, it serves as a powerful academic foundation. Through our partnership with the University of Wyoming at Casper, graduates can apply their credits toward an online Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) in Technical Studies. This allows you to enter the field as a professional technician while completing a four-year degree that prepares you for management and industrial leadership. Learn more at Transfer Agreements.
Are you a licensed teacher or teaching with a PIC permit? Are you interested in teaching this subject matter in classes at the junior, middle, and/or high school levels? You can complete a set of courses within this program to qualify for a career and technical education teaching endorsement. Learn more about which courses count toward a CTE endorsement.
At Casper College, I found a place that respected my work ethic and invested in students like me.
