Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Technology - Rochester Institute of Technology

Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Technology from Rochester Institute of Technology is a Campus Bachelor Electrical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Program Overview With both the increased complexity of product design and the merger of mechanical and electrical aspects of design, there is a growing need for professionals who have a strong foundation in the electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing disciplines. Graduates from the electrical/mechanical engineering technology program are able to effectively bridge the gap between coworkers with more specialized backgrounds. Goals The program prepares graduates for professional careers in the broad field of engineering technology, where an integration of mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing disciplines is important. The program provides the maximum amount of flexibility in transfer from other RIT programs and a variety of two-year programs, including engineering science and engineering technology . Curriculum The program?s core consists of 66 quarter credit hours covering the disciplines of electricity, electronics, microprocessors, mechanics, materials, thermal science, solid modeling, and manufacturing processes. After completing the core, students may select a technical concentration, which consists of three courses in a particular discipline. Students may use this concentration to either tailor the degree to meet specific employment objectives or establish a technical minor. Technical concentrations are available in electrical power systems, manufacturing management, telecommunications, and structures?civil, safety technology, and environmental management. Additional concentrations may be developed to meet the needs of a student?s career goals or interests. Students will also complete 24 quarter credit hours of electives (12 as free electives and 12 as technical electives). In addition, students take general education courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, communications, programming, and the liberal arts. View more details on Rochester Institute of Technology .
