Mechanical engineering technology graduates work with engineers in design production and manufacturing, and work with or act as supervisors in drafting, quality control, and product testing. Once the product is manufactured, it must be sold, installed, serviced, or applied as part of a larger system. Mechanical engineering technology technicians function to sell products, design systems, supervise installation or service components or systems.
The Mechanical Engineering Technology Department offers a unique combination of mechanical and electromechanical facilities and faculty resources. This enables the department to respond directly to new technologies as they evolve in areas such as controls, robotics, automation, and computer applications.
Each program provides useful career building skills for students who seek employment immediately upon graduation or wish to continue their education towards advanced degrees. Since the programs are related to nearly every company, product, or process, graduate placement is excellent. The Mechanical Engineering Technology Department maintains active contact with related industries and professional societies and works closely with them to assist graduates in obtaining employment opportunities.
Department Mission
"To prepare graduates, as intentional learners, for immediate employment or continued educational opportunities through a quality education which integrates application experience with a foundation in arts and sciences and technological theory and exceeds the current requirements in mechanical engineering technology and related fields."
