Electromechanical Engineering Technology

Electromechanical Engineering Technology

A.A.S. Degree (D)

The Electromechanical Engineering Technology department awards a student an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree. To receive this degree, the student must complete training in the fields of electricity, electronics, process control, and hydraulics/pneumatics. The graduating student constructs electrical, electronic, and fluid circuits from engineering designs provided by supervisory engineers, to apply test and evaluation procedures to these circuits, and to correct circuit defects with instrument-aided analysis.

A graduate of this technology is qualified for at least an entry-level position in the electromechanical field, which includes plant maintenance, small machine repairs, and school or hospital maintenance. A student may also choose to attend a four-year institution and pursue a baccalaureate degree in industrial, mechanical, or electromechanical engineering.

Program Graduate Competencies

The Program Graduate Competencies listed below identify the major learning goals related to your specific program of study and identify the knowledge and skills you will have when you graduate to be successful in your chosen field.

1. Design basic circuitry and draft sketches to clarify details of design documentation in accordance with an engineer's guidance and direction.
2. Build, modify, and test circuitry or electronic components according to engineering instructions, technical manuals, and knowledge of electrical or electronic systems.
3. Install, maintain, adjust, and calibrate electrical or electronic equipment.
4. Identify and resolve equipment malfunctions.
5. Read blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematic drawings, and engineering instructions for assembling, maintaining, or repairing equipment.
6. Employ ethical standards, sound leadership and management principles, and lifelong learning opportunities.

Core Curriculum Competencies

The Core Curriculum Competencies listed below identify what you will be able to do as a graduate, regardless of your program of study. You will acquire these core competencies through general education courses and program-specific coursework. You will be expected to use relevant technology to achieve these outcomes:
