Electromechanical Engineering Technology (AAS)

Application Code:
0557
Degree Received:
Associate in Applied Science (AAS)
Academic Department:
Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology

Description:

Electromechanical engineering technology provides a thorough understanding of both electrical-electronics and mechanical principles, together with the problems associated with combining electrical and mechanical components into electromechanical devices or systems. Throughout the program, emphasis is placed on electromechanical system control for automated processes.
