The MSc in Electromechanical Engineering (EME) aligns well with the mission of The University of Trinidad and Tobago, which is: "To contribute to the sustainable and entrepreneurial development of society through the advancement and application of research, dissemination of knowledge and public engagement in our pursuit to produce work-ready graduates, innovators and critical thinkers".

The programme integrates mechanical and electrical engineering, so that the engineer has a wide range of skills necessary to navigate industry. The local engineering industry requires engineers who are broadly equipped, a skill set that is often overlooked in many single engineering disciplines. The Utilities and Sustainable Engineering Unit emphasizes the need for integrated engineering knowledge encompassing multiple engineering disciplines. The MSc EME programme adds postgraduate depth to this breadth, producing graduates who are well equipped to handle engineering problems that arise with machinery, plants and otherwise. This will be an asset for the local engineering industry which very often needs to call upon foreign engineering consultants to trouble shoot problems, resulting in unnecessary foreign exchange outflow. The MSc EME aims to alleviate such problems, which will in turn benefit the economy of Trinidad and Tobago. 

The new course "Patenting for Engineers" sets the mood of the programme, which establishes an entrepreneurial mindset in students, together with an integrated knowledge of various engineering disciplines. 

Academia has previously emphasized single engineering disciplines at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, resulting in engineers who are not best suited to the multidisciplinary requirements of industry. The MSc EME aims to fill that underrepresented gap.  The programme will aid in developing a unique skillset by providing an integrated engineering knowledge (electrical and mechanical engineering) at a postgraduate level, to give students a cutting edge in industry and business.
