Electromechanical Engineering Technology Degree Program

Graduates of the Electromechanical Engineering Technology associate degree program are referred to as Electromechanical Engineering Technicians. The curriculum has a strong laboratory focus with the goal of understanding the use of electronics and computers to control mechanical systems. All ten of the required major courses have an associated laboratory component where students learn the operation and use of electronic measuring instruments and the control of mechanical systems in the laboratory. Particular attention is given to the operation of sensors in electromechanical transducers, their calibration and connection to data collection and control systems.

Electromechanical engineering technicians are employed in product evaluation and testing, the electromechanical aspects of power generation, installation and calibration of transducers, and computer data acquisition and control of electromechanical systems. Work activities generally involve electrically controlled mechanical systems in areas from research and development, to production design, operation and maintenance. Opportunities also exist in technical communications and sales. Upon completion of the associate degree (AAS) in Electromechanical Engineering Technology, students may elect to continue their education toward the baccalaureate degree in Electrical Engineering Technology and complete both degrees in four years.
