Narrative:
Captain flying pilot. At cruise FL360. Number 2 engine itt on the EICAS spiked twice. The temperature got as high as 10-15 degrees. With the spikes two separate vibrations were felt. The number 2 engine then had a uncommanded shutdown. I checked the oil level on the mfd and saw it was at 4 qts. Departing we had at least 10 qts in the number 2 engine. I followed the emergency procedure for an engine failure and called for the epc and aom. We declared an emergency with ATC and asked for emergency equipment to be standing by in far. Notified the flight attendant who was already aware of the problem. She and the passengers felt and heard the vibrations. The flight attendant said the passenger were concerned but calm. The first officer ran the appropriate checklists and radios. He also made a PA to the passengers. Our single engine descent was smooth and we were vectored in for an ILS approach. The approach went well. We landed smoothly and stopped in the required distance. Crash and rescue checked the exterior of the aircraft and did not see any debris; leakage; smoke or fire. We taxied to the gate and deplaned without further incident. Passengers all seemed to be calm. Notified dispatch and maintenance control then entered the information in the aml.
