The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program Criteria. MET students take electives in one of the following areas: manufacturing systems, marine systems, mechanical systems design, mechatronics systems, and nuclear systems.<br><br>Students take common courses in areas such as computer-aided drafting, statistics, strength of materials, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, automation and controls, and computer solid modeling.<br><br>The program culminates in a senior project that integrates course work with a practical project assignment in the student's area of interest.<br><br>To satisfy the upper-division general education requirements, students must complete either a minor from the College of Engineering and Technology, a minor from the College of Sciences, or a minor in Cybersecurity.<br><br>Students in Mechanical Engineering Technology are prepared for a range of engineering positions including system design, fabrication, manufacturing, and mechatronics. Students taking senior electives in the area of mechatronics system specialization obtain the skills needed for success working in mechatronic systems and includes robotics, mechatronics, CNC, mechanical subsystem design, computer integrated manufacturing, lean engineering and electrical power and machinery.
