Electromechanical Engineering Technology
As the world and its machines grow increasingly complex, the demand for engineers skilled in both electrical and mechanical environments continues to rise.
Our goal is to prepare industry-ready graduates who not only contribute value to the industry today, but can help lead industry tomorrow. We go beyond the books by integrating industry professionals into multiple aspects of the student’s journey, from the learning lab and internships to guest lectures and onsite visits.
Graduates can expect to pursue careers in the following industries:
- Robotics Engineering
- Mechatronics Engineering
- Aerospace and Transportation
- Automation and Manufacturing
- Controls Engineering
- Medical Equipment and Technology
- Power Generation and Distribution
- Sustainable and Renewable Energy
- Test and Quality Engineering
- Instrumentation and Data Acquisition
- Application and Field Engineering
Graduates may be qualified for the following jobs:
- Application Engineer
- Electronics Engineer
- Automation and Controls Engineer
- Instrumentation Engineer
- Test Engineer
- Manufacturing Engineer
- Quality Engineer
- Power Systems Field Engineer
- Power Distribution Engineer
- Technical Sales Engineer
$70,000 – $100,000

Curriculum Overview
The major program of study is arranged in a logical 6-semester sequence, with study moving from basic concepts through highly technical applied principles. A special focus is given to “learning while doing” with several courses held in advanced laboratories, and several professional courses are offered to assist in the development of managerial skills.
Students interested in Applied Energy can add a concentration.
Students also have direct access to a Master of Science degree in Applied Energy and Electromechanical Engineering (AEEE), with as little as one additional year of study.
Transfer Students
The Electromechanical Engineering Technology program welcomes transfer students at various levels of academic progression with many students being able to complete their BSET degree in just two additional years after admission into the major.
Transfer admission into the major occurs with one of the following two scenarios:
1. Transfer applicants who have an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree must:
- Hold the AAS degree in an appropriate field: Automation, Computer, Controls, Electrical, Electronics, Industrial, Instrumentation, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Robotics, or similar title.
- A minimum GPA of 2.50 (out of 4.00) in the AAS degree.
- Have completed satisfactorily, and transferred in, courses equivalent to the lower-level courses. Missing lower-level courses may be taken at UNC Charlotte.
2. Transfer applicants who have an Associate in Engineering (AE) or an Associate of Science (AS) or do not have an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in an appropriate field must meet the University Transfer Admission Requirements.
