Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering technology (MMET) prepares students for dynamic careers in industry. Graduates are versatile and effective in diverse areas that require understanding of the dependencies among material properties, product design, costs, manufacturing systems, and process technologies. The student views manufacturing from an enterprise and system perspective, recognizing the importance of customer and supplier interactions. To meet these diverse needs, this degree program provides a foundation of mathematics, science, and specialized technical courses, as well as preparation in oral and written communication. The three main areas of concentration are product design, manufacturing systems integration and automation, and quality assessment. Studies in these areas are supported by a solid foundation in materials and manufacturing processes.The mission of the Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Texas A&M University is to provide a high-quality, application-oriented education producing professionals who can effectively contribute to leadership, the advancement of manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology, and improved performance of industrial endeavors. The educational mission is complemented by applied research and the development of new interdisciplinary technology that mutually benefits the university and its industrial, governmental, and academic collaborators. The people in the program are committed to providing service and leadership in the promotion and advancement of the University and the profession.Program Educational ObjectivesThe MMET program prepares students who after a few years after graduation:Demonstrate manufacturing and mechanical technical knowledge, problem solving skills, and implementation skills for careers in design, installation, operations, technical sales, or service functions in industry;Demonstrate increasing level of leadership and responsibility;Exhibit both immediate and sustainable productivity in a dynamic work environment.
