The Electro-Mechanical Technologies (EMT) program contains nine (9) courses, 38 weeks for
day students or 58 weeks for evening students, and 36 semester credit hours. The objective
of the EMT program is to train and prepare students for entry as service and maintenance
technicians in jobs that utilize technologies employed in the fields of air conditioning (both
heating and cooling), and refrigeration. Students completing this program should have an
understanding of mechanical and electrical principles and will have practical exposure to
diagnosing, servicing and repairing common types of problems in related equipment. Upon
successful completion of this program, students will receive a Diploma.
The objective of this 3-5 month* program is to train and prepare students for entry as new construction and maintenance electricians.
