Electromechanical Controls Technology
The electromechanical Controls Technology programs prepare students for employment in a variety of positions, to include the following: industrial machine installer/repairer, electrical/electronic equipment repairer, mechanical control and valve repairer, programmable controller installer, programmer and repairer, electrical and electronic equipment assembler, electromechanical systems repairer, marine electrician, renewable energy installer, automated machinery maintenance mechanic, and industrial automation and process controls technician. These programs also provide students with a comprehensive set of skills that employers seek when hiring new employees.
Successful completion of one or more certificate programs provides a concentration in a particular field of electromechanical maintenance and repair. The program also prepares students for industrial certification in automation, process control, fluid power, fiber optics, and renewable energy technology.
Students with limited background in the field should plan to complete the associate of applied Science in electromechanical Controls Technology.
