Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology - Engineering Foundations concentration designed to provide an entry point into electro-mechanical and automation technologies while developing core technical and problem-solving skills.
Courses in DC and AC electrical circuits, robotic programming, PLC programming, hand tools, and metal fabrication prepare graduates with valuable skills sought by employers for “multi-craft” technician roles. Students gain experience reading blueprints and schematics, programming FANUC and Yaskawa robotic systems, navigating Allen-Bradley hardware and software, utilizing Microsoft Office applications, and maintaining fluid and mechanical systems.
Technical courses incorporate software as an integral engineering tool and emphasize hands-on laboratory experiences aligned with tasks commonly performed in industrial environments. Whenever possible, partnerships with local industry allow students to see firsthand the equipment, processes, and technical skills used daily in the manufacturing sector.
Graduates find career opportunities with a wide variety of regional employers, with opportunities expanding across Ohio-one of the top three manufacturing states in the United States. Career pathways include positions such as maintenance technician, manufacturing technician, technical sales representative, PLC programmer, and other advanced technical roles.
With multiple courses aligned to Ohio Transfer Assurance Guides (TAGs), graduates also benefit from strong in-state transfer opportunities to several bachelor’s degree programs in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology and related fields.
