Electromechanical Engineering Technology, BEng

The Bachelor of Engineering in Electromechanical Engineering Technology (BEng EMET) program is offered in response to a growing demand from industrial and consulting companies for engineering staff members with a wide range of technical knowledge. At Northern, this program will provide a clear pathway towards a bachelor degree for students completing certificate in CAD, Career and Technical Education associates, as well as associate in Pre-engineering. The primary aim of the BEng. EMET program is to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to apply current methods and technology to the development, design, operation, and management of electro-mechanical systems, particularly in those industries where automated systems are prevalent.

Students are advised not to attempt upper division coursework (3000 and 4000-level classes) unless you have earned a GPA of 2.5 or better in all coursework taken at the 1000 and 2000-level. Failure to maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 or better in all coursework will be sufficient cause for being dropped from the program.

The program objectives are the following:

1. Graduates will be situated in growing careers involving design, development, and support of Electro-Mechanical Engineering Systems.
2. Graduates will demonstrate involvement in significant technical roles and beginning leadership roles.
3. Graduates will perform effectively both individually and in teams and demonstrate oral and written communication skills in the working environment.
4. Graduates will continue personal and professional growth to remain globally competitive and develop a beginning understanding of business and ethical aspects of work.
5. Graduates will demonstrate an ability to creatively use science and technology to solve problems.

Completion of this program should result in the following student outcomes:

1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
4. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes;
5. An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams. Students are advised not to attempt upper division coursework (3300 and 4400-level classes) unless they have earned a GPA of 2.50 or better in all IT, CS, and CT coursework taken at the 1100 and 2200-level.
