Electromechanical Engineering Technology, B.S.

Program Information

Electromechanical Engineering Technology (EMET) is an interdisciplinary
hands-on engineering technology program that incorporates elements of both
electronics and mechanical engineering technology. The electronics component
of the curriculum includes course work in areas such as instrumentation,
data acquisition, and electrical control systems. The mechanical component
consists of traditional engineering sciences including fluid mechanics,
thermodynamics, manufacturing processes and heat transfer. Integration of
the electronics and mechanical components starts in the first semester and
continues throughout the curriculum with equal emphasis on both subjects in
the junior year. In the senior year, students are given the opportunity to
select a specialty in areas such as robotics, communication/networks,
mechanical, computer, or business/management/Entrepreneurship /marketing.

The EMET program prepares students to become practicing engineering
technologists who can solve multidisciplinary problems in industry and
government in areas such as electronic instrumentations, testing, process
control, communication, computers, alternative energy systems, robotics,
manufacturing, automated control systems, and product sales and service.

Graduates of the EMET program will fill the need for a growing demand from
industrial and consulting companies for engineering staff members with a
wide range of technical knowledge.

Educational Objectives

Electronic or Electromechanical Engineering Technology graduates will develop

• a commitment to lifelong learning, quality and continuous improvement through the clear ability to assume increasing levels of technical and/or management responsibility or through participation in professional societies, earning advanced degrees, receiving additional training or certifications.
• the ability to contribute to engineering teams that design effective and efficient new products, systems and processes.
• leadership skills while working on teams involved in the analysis, development, implementation, or oversight of electrical and/or hardware systems and processes.
