The most advanced machine is nothing with out an adequate power system and proper controls. Students studying at MTC to become Electro-Mechanical Technicians learn how to design and test basic power and control systems, as well as troubleshoot and repair failed systems and mechanical components.

This particular training option is referred to as an Associate of Technical Study degree, or ATS. ATS plans are created when a student has a unique employment objective that isn’t a ‘‘perfect match’’ for an existing MTC academic program. ATS programs combine courses and training from two or more programs to meet students’ specific needs.

The Electro-Mechanical Technician program is an established amalgam of engineering, business, and IT training. Established ATS programs are called OPTION I. Students requiring a truly unique career pathway may choose to develop an OPTION II program. This option requires a separate application and meeting with your advisor and/or appropriate academic personnel. Guidelines and a worksheet for selecting your courses, and an application form for the program, are available from the Office of Admission.

To apply for acceptance into the Electro-Mechanical Technician ATS program at MTC, applicants must have:

1. Completed and submitted the MTC Application for Admission and nonrefundable application fee.
   
2. Provided official final high school transcript (or GED results) and college transcripts (if applicable) with posted graduation date or passing GED results.
   
3. Completed the MTC Application for Financial Aid and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (optional).
   
4. Met with appropriate academic personnel and completed an Associate of Technical Study Degree application form.
   
5. Successful completion of the Basic Skills Assessment test (COMPASS) is highly recommended.

Transfer students to MTC must qualify in accordance with current admission criteria.

If required, Foundation Courses are available to help you meet any specialized program admission requirements.
