Electromechanical Engineering
Technology
Electromechanical engineering technologists
apply their knowledge of methods and technology to the development,
design, operation, and management of electro-mechanical systems. A
wide range of manufacturing organizations - especially small and
mid-sized firms -- have a need for individuals who are trained in both
electrical and mechanical disciplines. Those with an accredited degree
in electromechanical engineering technology have a broad knowledge of
electrical, electronic, and mechanical devices. They also
understand the instrumentation, computers, robotics, machine technology, and
state-of-the-art control equipment important to electro-mechanical
systems.
Preparation
Those interested in a
career in electromechanical engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Students take
courses such as linear electronic circuits, microprocessors, digital
electronics, circuit theory, calculus and differential equations,
production design, chemical principles
and economics. The following is a current list of all universities
offering accredited degree programs in
electromechanical
engineering technology.
