Beginning Aug. 3 with the new school year, high school students will be able to earn an engineering-related Basic Mechatronics Certificate in courses taught by Ogeechee Technical College faculty on the Statesboro High School campus. The students will be dual-enrolled, receiving both high school and college credit. The certificate could stand on its own for high school graduates going right to work, or it will fit into an associate degree program at Ogeechee Tech.
