Electro-Mechanical Engineering, ATS - Type A

This program emphasizes those skills required by the highly competitive field of electro-mechanical technology. At the completion of the program, graduates will be engaged in designing, manufacturing, inspecting, operating, and maintaining various types of electro-mechanical systems. Within the mechanical component, manufacturing processes such as CNC and design aspects are emphasized. Within the electrical component, skills are developed in circuits, AC/DC machinery, and industrial programmable controller applications.

Upon successful completion of the degree in electro-mechanical engineering, the graduate will be able to:

• Demonstrate professional conduct and interpersonal communication skills (verbal and written) with coworkers and other technical personnel.
• Demonstrate the ability to apply mathematical and geometric concepts.
• Demonstrate knowledge of electrical principles and AC/DC machinery.
• Demonstrate knowledge of manufacturing processes on different machines, tools and materials by operating conventional and CNC equipment.
• Apply concepts of statics to analyze and compute forces on and in structures that are at rest or moving with uniform velocity.
• Demonstrate knowledge of principles of physics.
• Demonstrate proficiency in industrial applications of programmable logic controllers.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR BACCALAUREATE STUDIES

Students who successfully complete the electro-mechanical major may continue their studies toward a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering Technology and/or Industrial Technology at various universities. Further information regarding any of these opportunities is available through the office of the dean or transfer coordinator.
