Chattanooga State Community College will be hosting an Open House for high school students interested in the Mechatronics Academy at Volkswagen on Thursday, February 24 beginning at 6:00 p.m. The event will be held in the Center for Engineering, Technology, Arts & Sciences (CETAS), room 110. Enter the campus using the West Entrance to access the CETAS building.

Mechatronics Academy is a multifaceted learning environment. Located at the Volkswagen plant, it acts as a launching pad for students to be “ahead of the game” and expedite their higher educational goals while learning in an industrial setting. Mechatronics Academy offers students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma from their home school, approximately 36 hours towards an associate degree, and some industry certifications.

The Open House will allow students and parent/guardians to see the current process for acceptance, current curriculum, ask questions related to the program, and meet the people for each step of the process.
