Electromechanical Engineering Technology
The Electromechanical Engineering Technology Program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. This degree provides the student with a firm background in mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology. Our hands-on, high quality education process enables graduates to be productive members of the engineering team from the first day of employment. Job titles include field engineer, project engineer, superintendent, as well as estimator, scheduler, manufacturing manager, and project manager.
Mechanical Emphasis
This emphasis area stresses the application and design of mechanisms and power transmission systems utilizing strength of materials, statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, metallurgy, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. Graduates may be involved in applied design, development, application, and production of mechanical devices and systems.
Graduates may also be involved in data analysis, planning, calibrating and maintaining plant equipment and systems utilized in large facilities. They may be employed in manufacturing, commercial, medical, institutional and government organizations. This may also involve the overall needs of society where problems related to the environment, pollution, and energy conservation may need to be considered.
Manufacturing Emphasis
This emphasis area stresses technological competency and managerial skill in solving problems of utilization of raw materials and resources through planning, selecting, and organizing of manufacturing processes in the most economical manner.
The manufacturing technologist is concerned with problems in mass production of manufactured goods. This includes production design, tooling, selection of machines, marketing, and consumer psychology.
