Mechanical Engineering Technology
Program Description
This program provides students with the opportunity to enter the engineering technology field as a drafter, designer, or various other positions within an engineering or manufacturing design team. The program of study includes computer-assisted drafting, design engineering practices, and mechanical design. Students will be exposed to basic metallurgy, material identification, material strengths and proper manufacturing procedures related to machining and manufacturing.

All students must attend the summer Program Orientation, or must meet/contact their Mechanical Engineering Technology program advisor prior to taking their first course.
All part-time students must meet with a Mechanical Engineering Technology program advisor to develop a sequential Plan of Study prior to taking their first course. (failure to do so may result in the student taking longer to complete the program)
Students must take their program core courses in sequence, and during the same semester as is reflected on the published Plan of Study.
