In the Applied Technologies program, you'll learn the theory behind things like circuits and vacuum systems as well as hands-on skills like welding and milling. UNM Los Alamos worked closely with businesses that employ technical professionals to create a program that utilizes state of the art equipment and techniques. This is a fast-growing field and the program was designed with employability in mind.

The Applied Technologies degree program at UNM Los Alamos is designed to give you the specialized skills you need for employment in high-tech fields. This is a unique program in New Mexico that offers you the opportunity to train in only two years for a high-paying, interesting, and dynamic career. We offer a personalized attention to each student and many hands-on learning opportunities with concentration areas in: Robotics, Electro-Mechanical Technology, and Manufacturing Technology.

Electro-Mechanical Technology

Electro-Mechanical technicians harness the force than runs the modern world. From service equipment to robots, electro-mechanical technologies are present in industrial sites, hospitals, and laboratories. Electro-mechanical systems are a part of our everyday lives as well as the backbone of cutting-edge research.

In the Electro-Mechanical Concentration, you will learn the basic elements of DC circuits, AC electronic components, and electronic devices. You will also be introduced to fundamental mechanical systems (vacuum, cryogenic, and hydraulic systems) and their design, assembly, and operation.
