Mechanical Engineering Technology
The curriculum of Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program provides students with the foundation to design, develop, test, troubleshoot, and manufacture mechanical devices, including tools, engines and machines. Emphasis is placed on a broad range of courses including, properties and percusses of engineering materials, thermal-fluid-energy sciences and applications, computer aided design and analysis, mechanical design and analysis, robotics, mechatronics, manufacturing and industrial engineering areas.
Students learn how to apply the basic engineering principles and utilize technical skills to the diversified mechanical and manufacturing fields.
Graduates work with the latest technologies in a broad range of fields like automotive, logistics, materials, maintenance, quality assurance, reliability and testing, manufacturing, robotics, supply chain, aerospace, alternative/clean energies, nanotechnology, biomedical and more.
Program Educational Objectives:
The Mechanical Engineering Technology Program adopts the following educational objectives, designed to educate and improve the ability of students to become competent and creative professionals contributing effectively for fulfilling the employment needs of today and of the future. Within 2-5 years of graduation, Mechanical Engineering Technology graduates will be able to:
Objective 1
Demonstrate competency in identifying and analyzing technical problems, problem solving, design of systems and application of modern tools.
Objective 2
Advance through their professional career by demonstrating their ability to function in multidisciplinary teams and participate in ongoing professional development.
Objective 3
Express themselves effectively in both oral and written communication, understand social responsibilities, appreciate diversity, commit to continuous improvement and maintain professional competency through life-long learning.
MET Expected Student Outcomes:
The MET program must demonstrate that the graduates have:
- an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
- an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
- an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams
