机械工程技术（MET）是一个广阔的领域，它使学生能够从事机械工程师的工作，以设计和开发新的和创新的产品和技术。拥有MET学位的机械工程师参与每个过程，从设计精致的工具和零件到在大型车辆中使用大型齿轮进行工作，再到操作和维护。MET学生团队在上学期的MET 100 Intro to MET和下学期的MET 107 Machine Tool Lab I中完成了设计-建造项目。团队合作培训使毕业生为大型项目的有效工作做好准备。
Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) is a broad field which prepares students to work as mechanical engineers designing and developing new and innovative products and technologies. Mechanical engineers with an MET degree are involved in every process, from designing delicate tools and parts, to working on huge gears in large vehicles, to operation and maintenance.<br><br>Teams of MET students complete design-build projects in both MET 100 Intro to MET in the first semester, and in MET 107 Machine Tool Lab I in the second semester. Teamwork training prepares graduates to work effectively and efficiently on larger projects.<br><br>The University of Maine Mechanical Engineering Technology program prepares students for a broad range or engineering activities including the development, design, testing, and manufacturing of products, the design, operation and maintenance of processes, and technical sales and marketing. The scope of mechanical engineering technology includes transportation, power generation, energy conversion, climate control, machine design, manufacturing and automation, and the control of engineering systems and devices.
