Program Description:

The Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology Renewable Energy Major was developed to address several related and growing industries in Ohio and Middle America.  The industries such as; photovoltaic electric panel manufactures (formally known as solar panels), wind turbine manufactures, fuel cell manufactures, photovoltaic and wind turbine installation and service, energy efficiency companies/consultants.  These new technologies are an application of traditional Electro-Mechanical devices and require most of the traditional foundation of an Electro-Mechanical student.  Renewable Energy is more than the technologies mentioned above, but as a major those mentioned are served well and a graduate can choose from several pathways.

Graduates are prepared to:

• technician in a manufacturing facility, such as a wind turbine, photovoltaic or fuel cell manufacture
• installer and/or field technician for wind turbine, photovoltaic or fuel cell technology
• pursue a B.S. in Engineering Technologies such as Mechatronics or pursue a B.S. in Engineering such as Chemical Engineering for research and development
• energy efficiency technician, engineer or auditor to calculate and advise a business or manufacturer how to reduce energy consumption. 

Job Titles for Graduates:

• Electro-Mechanical Technician (E/M Technician)
• Electronic Technician
• Test Technician
• Product Test Specialist
• Electro-Mechanic
• Electronic Instrument Technicians

Credentialing:
Ohio Board of Regents approved major
