The mechanical engineering technology (MET) program is designed as a “two-plus-two” program. Students may earn an Associate in Applied Science degree after two years of full-time study. With this degree, they may begin a career in industry. If she or he wishes, the associate degree graduate can continue for two more years of full-time study, at which time the bachelor’s degree is awarded.
Associate Degree Program
The associate degree program introduces the student to the principles and practices of machine design, manufacturing processes, and energy conversion. Students are also given a firm foundation in communications, mathematics and science. Upon completion of the associate degree, graduates may find employment as engineering technicians in a wide variety of industries. They assist engineers in the design, drafting, testing, and support of mechanical products, or of the industrial equipment and processes used to manufacture consumer products.
Bachelor’s Degree Program
Students who have earned the associate degree may elect to complete the bachelor’s degree on either a full- or part-time basis. Courses in the bachelor’s degree program further develop technical, communication, and managerial skills. Upon successful completion of the coursework, graduates are awarded the Bachelor of Applied Science degree, and are prepared for greater levels of responsibility and greater career advancement as engineering technologists.
