Mechanical Engineering Technology
Bachelor of Science Degree
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology, which focuses on product and process design, addresses today's job market and emphasize courses that include product design, tool and machine design, and manufacturing methods, as well as supporting engineering professions such as development engineers, application engineers, CAD engineering specialties, and basic engineering problem solvers. The courses at the Bachelor’s Degree level allow the student to link the design aspect of product development to the production phase and facilitate delivery to the customer. Students learn the theory and application of hydraulics, pneumatics, dynamics, instrumentation, thermodynamics and heat transfer, and machine design. Additionally, students gain knowledge in mechatronics, materials and inventory control, and plastics design.
Students can earn their Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology in as little as three years, days or evenings.
At the conclusion of this Mechanical Engineering Technology Degree program, students are required to complete a capstone course, which provides an excellent opportunity to tie the coursework together into a comprehensive senior project.
Graduates are well prepared to start their careers in research and development, design and problem solving professions in manufacturing and design departments, and as technologists in the area of production, quality, processes, automation, and tooling.
