Automation and Controls
Automation drives today’s manufacturing and process industries, and at the core of that technology are Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). VCU’s Automation and Controls courses prepare you to understand, program and manage these essential systems through hands-on, industry-relevant instruction.
Our noncredit classes combine lecture-based learning with practical lab experience using state-of-the-art Allen-Bradley PLC controllers and Rockwell programming software. Whether you’re new to automation or ready to advance your expertise, you’ll gain the technical and problem-solving skills needed to design, operate and optimize automated systems in real-world industrial environments.
