The Electromechanical Systems Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET.

The EMSET major stresses the application and design of mechanical and thermal power systems utilizing strength of materials, metallurgy, statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, HVAC, machine elements, instrumentation and control principles. Graduates may be involved in applied design, analysis, application, or production of mechanical/thermo-fluid systems.

The program also offers courses with a manufacturing emphasis which stresses technological competency and managerial skills in the economical utilization of raw material and resources through planning, selection, and organization of manufacturing processes. Graduates may be involved in mass production, tooling, selection of machines, and the marketing of manufactured goods. http://www.cpp.edu/~etg/

Note: A 2.0 GPA is required in core courses to receive a degree in all Electromechanical Engineering Technology majors.

Required Core Courses for Major: 81 units

Elective Core Courses: 23 units

ET XXX- Technical Electives (23) (300 and 400 level courses that must be related to EMSET fields ONLY)

For an alternative and interdisciplinary way to complete some of their GE requirements, students may choose the Interdisciplinary General Education program, see below.

Interdisciplinary General Education: 32 units

An alternate pattern for partial fulfillment of GE Areas A, C, D, and E available for students is the Interdisciplinary General Education (IGE) program. Students should see an advisor for specific GE coursework required by their major. Students must be exempt from or score at least 147 on the EPT to qualify for IGE. Please refer to the University Catalog General Education Program section for additional information.

How IGE fulfills General Education Requirements:

Year	Completion of IGE Courses	Satisfies GE Requirements
Freshman	IGE 120 , IGE 121 , IGE 122	A2 as well as any 2 courses from C1-C3
Sophomore	IGE 220 , IGE 221 , IGE 222	D1 (8 units) and D3
Junior	IGE 223 , IGE 224	D2 and Area E

American Institutions: 8 units

Courses that satisfy this requirement may also satisfy GE Area D1.

American Cultural Perspectives Requirement: 4 units

Refer to the University Catalog General Education Program section for a list of courses that satisfy this requirement. Course may also satisfy major, minor, GE, or unrestricted elective requirements.

Graduation Writing Test

All persons who receive undergraduate degrees from Cal Poly Pomona must pass the Graduation Writing Test (GWT). The test must be taken by the quarter following completion of 120 units for undergraduates.
