Department website: https://www.dccc.edu/academics/academic-divisions/workforce-development-community-education/electro-mechanical
Effective: Fall 2023
Electro-Mechanical Technologies program is designed to prepare students for employment as electro-mechanical technicians who assemble, install, troubleshoot and/or repair mechanical, electrical and fluid power systems. The program includes instruction in industrial robotics, electrical controls and programmable controllers, manufacturing and operational testing, as well as system analysis and maintenance procedures.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Explain the applications of AC/DC Electrical Theories.
- Evaluate the use of electrical controls and programmable controllers.
- Analyze the functions of components and devices used in mechanical, electrical and fluid power systems.
- Apply principles, knowledge and analysis skills in troubleshooting, repairing and maintaining mechanical, electrical and fluid power systems.
- Apply computational skills to solve problems related to mechanical, electrical, electronic and fluid power systems.
- Analyze the safety essentials when repairing, installing, and troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and fluid power systems.
The College will award a certificate of competency to students who complete an approved credit-bearing career program that requires less than 30 credits. General education courses may not be required for programs that have less than 30 credits. The student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. At least six credit hours must be in courses that are awarded grade points.
