Northeast’s Electromechanical Technology Associate of Applied Science degree program equips students with the skills to install, maintain, and repair advanced industrial and mechanical systems. Through hands-on training, students learn electrical principles, circuit design, electrical controls, robotics, mechanical systems, print reading, programming, and computer-aided drafting (CAD). The program combines electrical and mechanical instruction to prepare graduates for real-world, high-tech environments. Students work with electromechanical equipment—systems that integrate electric power with mechanical movement—and gain the knowledge to design, develop, test, and troubleshoot modern automated systems. Graduates are qualified for roles in industrial plants, hospitals, schools, apartment complexes, office buildings, and other facility maintenance and operations positions.
Why Students Choose This Program
The curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills employers are looking for. Students receive comprehensive training in key areas such as electricity, machining, welding, mechanics, motor repair, control systems, and more. In addition to technical skills, the program also emphasizes professionalism and job site safety. The combination of theory and applied learning ensures that students are well-rounded and industry-ready.
Graduates of the Electromechanical program are prepared for diverse and in-demand roles across industries that rely on automated and mechanical systems. As an electromechanical technician, you'll work with cutting-edge equipment used in everything from elevator controls and vending machines to aerospace systems, medical technology, and advanced manufacturing. Electromechanical systems play a vital role in industries such as robotics, healthcare, energy, and transportation—offering graduates a wide array of career paths.
Students benefit from a supportive and student-centered learning environment. Small class sizes allow for more personalized instruction and one-on-one mentorship from experienced faculty who are committed to student success. Experienced faculty bring real-world insight into every course and are dedicated to student success. Plus, Northeast offers career coaching, resume help, and job placement support.
Hands-On Learning Opportunities and Courses
Hands-on training is at the core of the Electromechanical Technology program. Students work directly with real industrial equipment. Lab sessions simulate on-the-job scenarios, allowing students to practice diagnosing and repairing systems just like they would in the field. Students learn to troubleshoot electrical and electronic systems, manufacturing processes, hydraulic and pneumatic operations, motor and logic controls, power transmissions, and robotics and automated systems. A required internship is also part of the program and gives students real world experience and a chance to grow their professional network.
The program includes a diverse range of courses designed to provide students with both foundational knowledge and specialized skills, including:
- Control Systems
- Electromechanical Systems
- Automated Controls
