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. However, there are many ET programs not yet accredited by ABET, so check with your local community college or university for more information. 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 p
rinciples and economics.
