To fuel the next generation of learners in the state of Tennessee, Motlow State’s Automation and Robotics Training Center (ARTC) in McMinnville is expanding its facilities. This new wing will house an expanded Mechatronics program and the upcoming Electric Vehicle Engineering Technology (EVET) program. Community leaders and the staff of Motlow State will assemble on November 12 to cut the ribbon and celebrate the College’s work to be part of building a sustainable future.
Nissan, General Motors, Volkswagen, Ford, and other well-known car manufacturers in Tennessee have entered the arena of electric vehicles. As technology advances and the demand for electric vehicles increases, graduates trained in this field will become more valuable. Motlow’s EVET program will help McMinnville students meet the demand and enter a competitive field full of possibilities. This is the first step in positioning the College to be ready for the next step in automotive innovation.
According to Dr. Regina Verdin, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, “The Mechatronics and EVET wing of the ARTC will facilitate academic programs and workforce programs to provide increased opportunities for our students to learn employable skills that impact our community now and in the future. As we continue to develop programs that impact the future of technology, this facility will provide the space for students to learn and practice the technology that drives the future.”
