Learning Outcomes
Mechanical Engineering Technology, B.S.
An accreditable program in mechanical engineering technology prepares graduates with knowledge, problem-solving ability and hands-on skills to enter careers in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing, technical sales, maintenance, and other endeavors typically associated with mechanical components and systems. Programs emphasize how things actually work, how they are made, and the realization that most mechanical components and assemblies become parts of complex systems, an important consideration realized at the beginning of the design process. Level and scope of career preparation will depend on the degree level and specific program orientation.
