The Mechanical Engineering Technology program at UA teaches students how to operate and maintain mechanical systems. <br><br>Mechanical engineering technicians are needed in all industries, from steelmaking to consumer products such as tires, cars, and home appliances. They work along with engineers in design, testing, manufacturing, and servicing of the mechanical components and systems found everywhere in industry.<br><br>Program highlights:<br><br>Core classes provide students with a comprehensive understanding of mathematical and scientific principles.<br>Students gain thorough grasp of engineering technology principles.<br>Technical courses are presented using graphical tools as well as incorporate algebra, trigonometry and geometry as primary analytical tools.<br>Mechanical Engineering Technology is concerned with the design of products and the machines required to manufacture them. Mechanical technicians are needed in all industries, from steelmaking to consumer products such as tires, cars, and home appliances. Mechanical technicians work along with engineers in design, testing, manufacturing, and servicing of the mechanical components and systems found everywhere in industry. The associate degree holder is well qualified to begin working in the various areas of mechanical technology.<br><br>The demand by industry for mechanical technicians is now and will continue to be great. It is estimated that thousands of new mechanical technicians will be required each year. Mechanical technicians find employment in many areas of the mechanical field, some of the specific career opportunities include:<br><br>Junior or Assistant Designer Designs machine elements and/or systems.<br>Engineering Aid - Assists the mechanical engineer, a good beginning for the inexperienced graduate.<br>Laboratory Technician Primarily responsible for evaluation of product or process diagnosis. May do field testing (tires, cars, etc.). Specifying materials from the design and processing standpoints.<br>Customer Service Technician Installs and maintains equipment on site. May also serve as sales representative in recommending a machine for a particular application.<br>Plant Engineer Establishes maintenance schedules and applies tool and machine design production process.
