Career Outlook
Our electromechanical engineering technology (EMET) program is designed to prepare you for career success.
Alumni move on to become members of engineering teams to help solve multidisciplinary problems in industry and government. Work in areas like electronic instrumentation, quality and testing, process control, alternative energy systems, robotics, manufacturing, automated control systems, and product sales and service with a background in electromechanical engineering technology.
Our graduates work in wide range of industries using skills ranging from basic circuit theory and complex signals to systems and project management. Companies include Goodrich, Otis Elevator, Sikorsky, and Pratt & Whitney.
Brett Yoder ’19, BS in Electromechanical Engineering TechnologyAs a Control Systems Engineer, I am expected to know automation processes, how to design and program complex systems, and how to implement good safety practices. The software and hands-on skills that I learned in the classroom are applied directly to my field of work. The Electromechanical Engineering Technology program that the University of Hartford offers is cutting edge with all the necessary skills that graduates need right out of college. From the thorough mechanical courses to the comprehensive electronics courses they offer; the job opportunities are endless with such a broad field of study.

I always loved breaking things down and making them better when I was little. I built my first computer at 10 years old, and I fell in love with it, and I am studying to be an engineer because of that.
Accreditation
The electromechanical engineering technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
As of January 2021, the program is one of 12 Bachelor of Science in Electromechanical Engineering Technology programs in the United States with ABET accreditation. Additionally, as of January 2021, the program is one of 11 programs recognized by the Automation Federation in their Automation Industry Competency Model.
Electromechanical engineering technology graduates will develop:
- A commitment to lifelong learning, quality and continuous improvement through the clear ability to assume increasing levels of technical and/or management responsibility or through participation in professional societies, earning advanced degrees, receiving additional training or certifications.
- The ability to contribute to engineering teams that design and/or support effective and efficient new products, systems, and processes.
- Leadership skills while working on teams involved in the analysis, development, implementation, or oversight of electrical and/or mechanical systems and processes.
Upon completion of the electromechanical engineering technology program, the successful graduate will have:
(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; and
(5) an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
