CIP Code: 29.47.0303.00
Program Description:
Training in Electro-Mechanical involves a combination of skill assignments and projects designed to provide students with training in electronics, residential/commercial wiring and electricity with focus on the National Electrical Code (NEC), single and three phase power, industrial motor controls and variable frequency drives, hydraulics, pneumatics, computer concepts, robotics and programmable logic controllers (PLC), advanced automation, process control and mechanical systems.
Additional instructional areas include Customer Service, Soldering and Assembly Techniques, Troubleshooting of Advanced Manufacturing Systems, and Professional Development courses, which include resume and technical writing.
The Electro-Mechanical student is required to pursue OSHA 10 Construction Industry Safety Certification, ETA (Electronics Technician Association) Customer Service (CSS) Certification, NC3 Snap-On Meter Certification, ETA (Electronics Technician Association) DC EM1 Certification and the CertTEC DC Basic Electricity Electronics (BEE) Certification by the completion of the Maintenance Associate Diploma requirements. Upon successful completion of these certifications, the student joins an elite group of individuals that have demonstrated their technical expertise. These certifications set them apart from all other Automation Technicians, regardless where they received their education: a TCAT, Community College, or even University. The Electro-Mechanical Technology program also provides students with the opportunity to prepare and take the State of Tennessee, Limited License Electrician (LLE) test.
Program Outcomes:
The mission of the Electro-Mechanical Technology program is to provide the education and intensive hands-on training in the integration of electrical, electronic and mechanical systems necessary for the student to become knowledgeable and competitive within today’s modern industry. The Electro-Mechanical program was designed to provide the student with various aspects of advanced manufacturing technologies that include electricity and electronics, fluid power, industrial mechanics, plus automated control systems to provide a multi-craft training opportunity based upon industrial progression towards automation and mechanization.
