Electromechanical Technology
The field of electromechanical technology has revolutionized the way we live. Our entire economy and culture depend on such systems as electromagnetic induction for power generation; transformers for the delivery of electricity to homes, businesses and industry; motors, drives and programmable logic controllers for industrial process control, hydraulics and pneumatics for the transmission and control of forces and velocities. These systems can be found in virtually every kind of technology we use, from automotive, aircraft and spacecraft to agricultural and offshore-technology industries.
Career Opportunities
Students who are interested in electromechanical technology can pursue a four-year bachelor's degree or a two-year associate degree. The demand for technologists with the bachelor's degree who can make informed decisions based on technical knowledge and experience is increasing. A student with a two-year associate degree will enter industry and work with engineers, technologists and other engineering technicians.
Technicians are often involved in the manufacture, testing, trouble-shooting, sale and field service of electrical, electronic and computer systems. They are expected to keep up with the latest technological advancements. Typical job titles include: industrial electronic systems technician, electrical technician, electronic technician, installation technician, automation specialist, field-service representative, technical representative and engineering technician.
