Mechanical Engineering Technology, B.S.M.E.T.



Description

The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is an applied learning experience in which students apply engineering concepts and computer aided design tools to analyze, design, and test mechanical systems.

What careers can this major prepare you for?

Graduates work in careers such as: mechanical design, product development, production and manufacturing engineering, service and operations engineering, and technical sales.

What skills are developed within this major?

Students learn apply principles of mathematics, science, and engineering in a variety of contexts. They hone their ability to use the techniques, skills, and tools necessary for science and engineering practice as well as design and conduct experiments. They learn to analyze and interpret data.

2+2 Program

Students who complete the coursework equivalent to an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from an accredited college, university or technical institute may be waived from Year 1 and Year 2 requirements, depending on courses completed in the Associates degree.

Hours Required for Degree


Minimum hours required for degree: 120 (may include approximately 50 semester credit hours which may be transferred from the Associate of Applied Science degree and applied to certain major-field requirements - see 2+2 Program below)

Major-Field Requirements
