General Education Requirements

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. https://www.cpp.edu/~engineering/ET/etg.shtml

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

Major Required: 86 units

Major Electives: 9 units

Interdisciplinary General Education: 21 units

An alternate pattern for partial fulfillment of GE Areas A, C, and D available for students is the Interdisciplinary General Education (IGE) program. Students should see an advisor for specific GE coursework required by their major. Please refer to the University Catalog General Education Program section for additional information.

How IGE fulfills General Education Requirements:

GE Area	Courses
A2	IGE 1100 and IGE 1200
C1	IGE 2100 or IGE 2200
C2	IGE 1100, IGE 1200, IGE 2100, or IGE 2200
D1	IGE 2300 or IGE 2400
D3	IGE 2300 or IGE 2400
C3	IGE 3100
D4	IGE 3100

A single course cannot be double-counted across multiple GE Areas.
