The Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (EMET) program focuses students on the automation systems that are the staples of the “modern manufacturing” environment. A solid foundation in analytical skills utilizing algebra, trigonometry, and physics is developed. Fundamental and advanced skills are developed thoroughly for utilization in applications such as programable logic controls, robotics, mechanical systems and fabrication.
Courses in DC and AC electrical circuits, robotic programing, PLC programming, hand tools, and metal fabrication prepare graduates with valuable skills that are highly coveted in “multi-craft” technicians. Graduates are skilled in reading blueprints & schematics, programming FANUC and Yaskawa robotic systems, navigating Allen Bradley hardware and software, utilizing Office suite software, and maintaining fluid and mechanical systems
Technical courses incorporate software as an integral engineering tool and involve hands-on practical lab activities appropriate to the types of functions performed by graduates in the industrial environment. Local industry is integrated where possible, so students see firsthand the type of skills required and equipment used daily in this industry.
Graduates find careers locally through a variety of employers in the region; those opportunities increase exponentially across Ohio - which ranks in the top 3 state for manufacturing in the United States. Careers include placement into roles such as maintenance technicians, manufacturing technicians, technical sales reps, PLC programmers and more.
With multiple courses meeting Ohio TAGs (Transfer Assurance Guides), graduates find excellent in-state transfer to multiple four-year bachelor programs in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology if desired.
