Electromechanical Systems

Electromechanical Systems prepares students to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills in developing and testing automated, servo mechanical and other electromechanical systems.

The program includes instruction in prototype testing, manufacturing and operational testing, systems analysis and maintenance, and report preparation. It is specifically designed for students wanting to enter the job market in the areas of manufacturing, communication, national defense, commercial air travel and energy production.
All of these fields use electronic equipment as control devices, and they have become critical to the success and smooth operation of a company. For that reason, there will be many opportunities for employment for installers, repairers and maintenance personnel.

Students can enter the full Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Electromechanical Systems program or choose from shorter options:

• Electromechanical Diploma
• Applied Electricity Certificate
• Electrical Systems Certificate
• Hydraulics/Pneumatics Systems Certificate.

Classes are held at the college’s Blong Technology Center just off Interstate 80, north of Davenport.

Graduates of the Electromechanical program go on to work at many different companies. Genesis Systems in Davenport is just one of those companies. It designs robotics for manufacturing. This video from the company tells about what they do.
