Individuals with well-rounded knowledge of how electromechanical and automated systems work together are in high demand and qualify to enter occupations such as a technician or specialist in industrial maintenance, automation, engineering, or in testing/research. A Certificate of Achievement can be obtained upon completion of the 37-unit major. All courses within the major must be completed with a minimum grade of C or P if taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.\n\n### Program Learning Outcomes\n\n-   Troubleshoot and solve basic problems involving electrical wiring, connections, and distribution at both the component level (0-24V) and at the industrial level (100-400 V).\n\n-   Demonstrate safe work habits around mechanical and electrical industrial equipment.\n\n-   Demonstrate proficiency in relating and integrating math and science concepts with basic systems found in industry.\n\n-   Troubleshoot and solve basic problems involving mechanical and fluid power systems.\n\n-   Demonstrate proficiency in integrating computer use with industrial machinery and control systems.\n\n### Program Requirements"
