The Electro- Mechanical Engineering Technology (B.S. EMET) degree program offered by Penn State Altoona provides the basic undergraduate education required for a career as an electro-mechanical engineering technologist. The program emphasizes a breadth of knowledge in all fields of engineering technology related to typical, highly-automated manufacturing, production, or assembly plant processes. Basic coverage is provided in all major areas of technology involved in the operation and control of manufacturing and production processes, including instrumentation and monitoring methods, principles of machine design, automated control techniques, thermal and fluid sciences, computerized manufacturing systems, principles of electrical and electronic circuit operation, computer-aided drafting and design, economics of production, and statistical analysis and quality control.
The primary aim of the Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (B.S EMET) program is to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to apply current methods and technology to the development, design, operation, and management of electro-mechanical systems. The program is specifically intended to prepare graduates for careers in industries where automated systems are used and to prepare them both to meet current challenges and to be capable of growing with future demands of the field.
The specific educational objectives of the program are
to:
I. Provide graduates with a broad knowledge of electrical, electronic, mechanical,
instrumentation, machine technology, computer applications, and controls
applicable to electro-mechanical systems.
II. Prepare graduates who can apply technical knowledge to the
development, operation, control, troubleshooting, maintenance, and
management of electromechanical systems.
III. Prepare graduates who can communicate effectively and work
collaboratively in multi-discipline teams.
IV. Prepare graduates who are productive professionals in technical careers and
who continue to adapt to changes in the technical fields.
