Electromechanical Engineering Technology

Associate Degree Program

The Electromechanical Engineering Technology department awards a graduating student an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree. To receive this degree, the student must complete training in the fields of electricity, electronics, process control, and hydraulics/pneumatics. The student constructs electrical, electronic, and fluid circuits from engineering designs provided by supervisory engineers to apply test and evaluation procedures to these circuits and to correct circuit defects with instrument-aided analysis.

A graduate of this technology is qualified for at least an entry-level position in the electromechanical field, which includes plant maintenance, small machine repairs, and school or hospital maintenance. A student may also choose to attend a four-year institution and pursue a baccalaureate degree in industrial, mechanical, or electromechanical engineering.

Offered at the following location(s): Dover
