Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology
The bachelor of science degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology (EMET) provides graduates with the range of practical skills needed to be successful engineers in any industry where modern industrial and manufacturing control systems and robotics are heavily used. Students are exposed to a core of electrical and mechanical engineering topics, which are integrated with extensive studies in modern instrumentation and controls concepts.

A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE
A distinct difference between the profession of engineering and other professions . . . is that the link between the public and the professionals is usually missing. While engineers continue to apply science in the form of innovative products and services improving daily human life, like cell phones, microwaves, gasoline, water pumps, communication devices, and even the paved road, the general public continues to see these as faceless products, and rarely relates these products, used daily, to engineers and the profession of engineering.

ARTICLES
“A Methodology for Identification and Control of Electro-Mechanical Actuators”
MethodsX, 2015
Scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article
Mechatronic systems are fully-integrated engineering systems that are composed of mechanical, electronic, and computer control sub-systems. These integrated systems use electro-mechanical actuators to cause the required motion. Therefore, the design of appropriate controllers for these actuators are an essential step in mechatronic system design. In this paper, a three-stage methodology for real-time identification and control of electro-mechanical actuator plants is presented, tested, and validated.
“Brawn with Brains”
Mechanical Engineering, Oct./Nov. 2021
The article discusses the future of industrial robots and artificial intelligence (AI) in the manufacturing industry. Also cited are the first industrial robot Unimate used by General Motors in its factory in 1961, the use by firms like Tesla and Siemens of AI robots as of October 2021, and the warehouse robots used by Amazon to process products in its warehouses.
Mechanical Engineering has been published since 1880 by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Browsing through issues of the print magazine in the Spark Collection is a great way to read about current trends and keep up with the role of engineering advances in the world and in our lives. You also have access to the full text online through Penn State University Libraries databases.
Mechanical Engineering is what is known as a trade publication which is the type of publication geared to professionals in a specific industry. They are not the same as scholarly, peer-reviewed journals. Mechanical Engineering, published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, features articles, commentary, product reviews, legislation, computing and software news, ASME codes and standards and news of note.
Here are just a few of the categories to explore in the magazine’s online content:
Digital Engineering Collection
Discover and explore content covering the latest trends and developments in digital engineering including artificial intelligence, IoT, Big Data, digital twin, simulation, and computer aided design.
Additive Manufacturing Collection
