The bachelor of science degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (EMET) provides graduates with the range of practical skills needed to be successful engineers in any industry where modern industrial and manufacturing control systems and robotics are heavily used. Students are exposed to a core of electrical and mechanical engineering topics, which are integrated with extensive studies in modern instrumentation and controls concepts.

Electrical topics include:

  • basic circuits
  • linear and digital electronics
  • microcontrollers
  • electrical power and machinery

Mechanical topics include:

  • Computer Aided Design (CAD) and spatial analysis
  • statics and dynamics
  • properties and strength of engineering materials
  • mechanical drives
  • concepts in product and production design

Automation topics include:

  • data acquisition
  • instrumentation
  • process control

Students are prepared to combine these engineering skills for use in industrial settings.

EMET graduates learn the skills necessary to apply current methods and technology to the development, design, operation, and management of electro-mechanical systems. They learn:

  • instrumentation and monitoring methods
  • principles of machine design
  • automated control techniques
  • thermal and fluid sciences
  • computerized manufacturing systems
  • electrical and electronic circuit operation
  • computer-aided drafting and design
  • economics of production
  • statistical analysis and quality control

Design-based Curriculum

Design-based activities are incorporated throughout the EMET curriculum, with most courses paired with hands-on laboratory experiences. The program culminates in a capstone design project during the final two semesters that focuses on the planning, development, and implementation of an electro-mechanical design project. For the course, student teams manage a major project that must involve the design and implementation of a product or process that integrates electrical and mechanical components with elements of computer control.
