Electro-Mechanical Technology

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. This program incorporates a combination of study from Electronics and Maintenance. Training involves a variety of skill assignments and projects in electronics, electricity and mechanical technologies with an emphasis in the NEC (National Electric Code), single and three phase power, motor control, hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, computer concepts, and programmable logic controllers (PLC). The advanced student progresses with machining fundamentals, mechanical systems, advanced fluid power, A.C. drive controls and intermediate PLC programming. Completion prepares the student for the increasing number of electro-mechanical and multi-skilled technical positions in advanced industrial and manufacturing technology.

The Electro-Mechanical Technology program also provides students with the opportunity to prepare and take the State of Tennessee, Limited License Electrician (LLE) test.
