What You’ll Learn 

Vermont State’s Electromechanical Engineering Technology degree program takes a unique, interdisciplinary approach to bridge the traditional gap between engineering disciplines. It prepares you to bring skills and knowledge from both mechanical and electrical engineering to bear in solving challenges in the modern design and manufacturing context. 

In your first two years, you’ll follow the associate in engineering curriculum for either mechanical engineering technology or electrical engineering technology.  

During your third and fourth years, you’ll take advanced courses in both disciplines while continuing to build your skills in math and areas like mechanical drawing and computer modeling. A concentration will give you extra exposure to the area opposite to that of your associate degree. (For example, if your associate degree was in mechanical engineering technology, your concentration will be in electrical.) 

You’ll also complete a robust, team-based final design project that will give you the chance to bring everything you are learning together to tackle a real design challenge. 

Outside the Classroom, In the Community 

As an electromechanical engineering technology student at Vermont State, your fourth-year team design project will give you the chance to unleash your creativity and test your abilities on a real-world challenge of your choosing.  

Recent student teams have created a device to gather data from a surfboard and developed a robot-controlled foosball table.  

Special Facilities 

As you earn your electromechanical engineering technology degree, you’ll get lots of hands-on experience with the technologies used in the analysis, design, and manufacturing of electrical and mechanical components in our electrical and mechanical labs.  

Equipment available includes oscilloscopes, function generators, soldering stations, power supplies, 3D printers, PC board fabrication, machining tools, testing equipment, and computer workstations.   

The Bachelor of Science in Electromechanical Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electromechanical Engineering Technology.
