Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (EMET)
The Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology program is the largest of its kind in Ohio. The program combines electronics engineering technology and mechanical engineering technology, so students develop skills that are highly valued by industrial firms, including a focus on industrial automation. Students gain skills in controlling systems, linking software and hardware maintaining systems, and improving machines and systems.
Program graduates also are prepared to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technologies such as Electronics and Electro-Mechanical, or pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering such as Electrical Engineering.
The Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, phone (410) 347-7700 and has received an Ohio Board of Regents Program Excellence Award.
Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology—Laser Major (EMETL)
The Laser major prepares graduates to successfully begin careers and advance professionally in local and national industries that utilize lasers and electro-optics systems. Students work with laser material processing systems, and operate and troubleshoot optical systems including lasers, lens systems, and fiber optics. Graduates can support industrial equipment in automated manufacturing and research environments, and are also prepared to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering or related fields.
Program graduates also are prepared to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technologies such as Electronics and Electro-Mechanical, or pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering such as Electrical Engineering.
Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology—Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Major (EMTR)
The Renewable Energy major prepares graduates to address needs in several related and growing industries, including the manufacturing of photovoltaic electric panels, geothermal, solar thermal, wind turbines, and fuel cells; installing and servicing photovoltaic and wind turbine systems; and assisting energy efficiency companies and consultants. Understanding these new technologies requires most of the traditional foundations of electro-mechanical engineering technology studies.
Program graduates also are prepared to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technologies such as Electronics and Electro-Mechanical, or pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering such as Chemical Engineering for research and development.
