Electromechanical Technology
The Electromechanical Technology program prepares graduates for the rapidly changing industrial environment. Graduates also obtain many of the skills sought after by the fast emerging wind power industry. There is an increased need in industry for technicians with cross-disciplinary skills in the areas of electrical and mechanical technology.
This program prepares graduates to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair complex industrial equipment. The curriculum includes hands-on training in the areas of electronics, microprocessors, electrical control, industrial mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, programmable logic controllers and many other components and processes directly related to electromechanical technology.
The Atlantic Association of Directors of Apprenticeship Training and Board Chairs give credit for many of the modules completed to graduates who choose to pursue occupations in an Apprenticeship Trade (i.e. Industrial Electrical, Industrial Mechanical, Instrumentation Mechanic).
