Objectives & Outcomes

The specific educational objectives of the EMET program are listed below.

Three to five years after graduation, the program is designed to:

Provide graduates with a broad knowledge of electrical, electronic, mechanical, instrumentation, machine technology, computer applications, and controls applicable to electro-mechanical systems.

Prepare graduates who can apply technical knowledge to the development, operation, control, troubleshooting, maintenance, and management of electromechanical systems.

Prepare graduates who can communicate effectively and work collaboratively in multi-discipline teams.

Prepare graduates who are productive professionals in technical careers and who continue to adapt to changes in the technical fields.

The specific outcomes of the EMET program are listed below.

At graduation, students should:

1. Be able to identify, analyze, and solve technical problems related to integration of electrical, mechanical, instrumentation, computers, and control components to perform industrial and manufacturing functions.
2. Be able to apply concepts of calculus, differential equations, and probability and statistics, as appropriate to the applied design and analysis of electromechanical systems.
3. Be able to plan and conduct experimental measurements, use modern test and data acquisition equipment, and be able to analyze and interpret the results.
