EAST WILLIAMSON COUNTY HIGHER EDUCATION CENTER

TSTC at East Williamson County Higher Education Center (EWCHEC) — Hutto

The East Williamson County Higher Education Center (EWCHEC) is a multi-institutional teaching center providing a wide array of educational opportunities and workforce readiness programs. Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is committed to providing citizens of Hutto, Taylor, Williamson County, and the greater Austin area access to highly specialized and advanced technical education that can lead to high-paying, high-demand technical career opportunities. At EWCHEC, TSTC offers both associate degree and certificate programs. The Center began as a collaboration between Temple College and TSTC and is housed in a new 112,000 square-foot facility which opened in the fall of 2013. The Center is located on 57 acres at the corner of SH 130 and Highway 79 in Hutto.

Current OfferingsCurrently, TSTC has outfitted state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories to offer the following programs of study:. Computerized Numerical Control. Machining. Industrial Maintenance. Plumbing and Pipefitting. Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technician. Electrical Construction Technician. Welding (MIG, TIG, combination, automated). Culinary Arts

New OfferingsPartnering with Temple College, TSTC plans to offer three computer science programs next semester:. Business Applications Programming. Computer Networking & Systems Administration. Digital Forensics

Temple College will teach the basic technology and academic coursework, while TSTC provides the advanced

technology instruction and has oversight/responsibility for the computer science awards.

Future OfferingsWith an eye on future needs for technical training in the area, TSTC is seeking financing to offer advanced manufacturing training in Robotic Systems, Electromechanical Engineering, and Mechatronics.

Program Descriptions

Business Applications ProgrammingThe Business Applications Programming degree is a specialization in Computer Science Technology. The curriculum for this specialization begins with fundamental programming, database, and networking concepts. Students receive training using programming languages such as, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Java, and ASP — as well as hands-on training with server-based database implementation and applications, including Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft IIS, Oracle 11g, and ASP application server. In addition, deployment of information using Internet technology is covered in several courses.

Computer Networking & Systems AdministrationThe Computer Networking & Systems Administration program prepares technicians to build and manage communication systems. Instructional coursework offers insight into computer network design, implementation, and management. Computer Networking & Systems

Administration at TSTC offers specializations in System Administration, Microsoft, and UNIX, in addition to the standard CNS curriculum. All associate degrees now include four courses in Cisco Systems networking with emphasis on router and switch configuration. The Associate of Applied Science degree program includes courses covering client operating systems, server operating systems, Cisco equipment, NetWare, UNIX, Windows Network strategies, network cabling systems, Local Area Network (LAN) design and management, network protocol design and implementation, and internetworking of multi-vendor and divergent systems.

Digital ForensicsDigital forensics specialists help investigators solve crimes involving the use of computers and networks. In many cases, the computer becomes the central figure in a crime investigation, due to the digital ‘footprints’ that are often left behind. Students who have completed a minimum of an Associate Degree in Computer Networking & Systems Administration can enroll in this advance certificate program to learn the law and associated investigative processes and related software skills that can teach them to become adept at solving ‘cyber’ crimes of a digital nature.

Robotic SystemsRobots, once thought of as a futuristic fantasy, are now stan dard in the working world, used in automotive manufac turing, electronics, semiconductors, metals and plastic, and similar industries. As the manufacturing world continues to evolve in technology, the demand for robotics professionals who know these systems increases. Students in TSTC’s Robotic Systems specialization focus on automated manufacturing processes, the role of robots, and all sup port equipment. Specialized instruction focuses on motion programming, vision systems, conveyor systems, computer networking, automated sorting systems, PLC pro gramming, sensor systems, and computer integration. Upon graduation, many stu dents earn great salaries with ex tensive opportunities for advancement in such careers as automation technician, computer and robotic interface

technician, field service representative, PLC programmer, motion system programmer, system integrator, technical sales representative, and vision system technician.

Electro-Mechanical Engineering TechnicianElectro-mechanical engineering technicians are prepared to design, develop, test, and manufacture electrical and electronic circuits, as well as electronic and computer-controlled mechanical systems, like robotic assembly machines. Graduates are well-trained on everything from basic electronics to highly advanced computer-controlled assembly manufacturing cells.  Many former TSTC students have gone on to become elite technicians throughout the United States in companies including: Intel, Nokia, US Gypsum, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Prodel Automations, National Instruments, AMD Semiconductors, Alcoa — Howmet Castings, American Electric Power, Johnson & Johnson, and General Electric.

Mechatronics TechnologyMechatronics describes the automated systems that involve electronics, mechanics, and computer control. Mechatronics is an exciting interdisciplinary field that makes possible the generation of economical and reliable industrial products and equipment. Industrial applications are becoming increasingly multidisciplinary, requiring engineers and technicians to develop skills in a variety of disciplines including mechanics, electronics, computer science, and automation. Robotics, industrial automation, and electro-mechanical systems are examples of mechatronic applications. Many existing industries require Mechatronics skills and problem solving abilities. Mechatronics Technology courses combine various disciplines to teach future technicians a practical approach to developing solutions for engineering applications. Mechatronics Technology teaches a number of skills including "practical" knowledge in the integration of electrical systems, fluid power, computer controls, PLCs, instrumentation, robotics, quality control, and information technology.
