 Industrial Automation and Robics are very greaty related, so you should look into some robotics courses.

Specifically, you should look into the following courses:
-Robot setup and programming
-Electrical Safety Code Review
-Electrical/Mechanical AutoCAD
-Electronic/Electrical Devices, Equipment and Disitrubtion System
-Industrial Data Communications
-Industrial Drives and Robotics
-Industrial Field Instruments
-Motor Control and VFD Programming
-PC-based systems for Industrial Automation
-PLC and PID Controllers
-Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC)
-Ststem Engineering

You should also take a number of logic fundamental, interpretation and programming courses.

There are a ton more depending on what particular specialty you might be interested in, but these are a good idea of what you are getting into. Hope it help.s

 The courses listed above are good suggestions. It would also be good to investigate courses in what you could call "classical" control systems. These are usually offered at different levels within an institution, for instance:

Control Systems 1
Control Systems 2
etc

These courses tend to focus primarily on the fundamental reasons for system instability (a big problem in automation) and the stuff you learn can be universally applied to most if not all systems in engineering. I'm no expert on the subject but the control systems material that I've been exposed to has been both interesting and useful.
