The accredited Bachelor of Science in mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology emphasizes designing and developing components, processes, and systems. Graduates of this program will gain the knowledge, problem-solving capabilities, and practical skills necessary for careers in mechanical systems design, installation, manufacturing, testing, evaluation, technical sales, or maintenance. They will also develop expertise in analyzing, applying design principles, developing, implementing, or managing advanced mechanical systems and processes.
This bachelor's degree curriculum prepares students with the essential knowledge and competencies to thrive as engineers in the modern industrial sector. Starting in their second year, students must participate in cooperative education ("co-op") placements within industry, which frequently extend into full-time job opportunities. Design, alongside the study of engineering fundamentals, forms the foundation of the mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology degree.
The program is accredited by the ETAC Accreditation Commission of ABET, https:www.abet.org. Further details regarding our Program Educational Objectives, Student Outcomes, and data on student enrollments and degrees awarded are available on our Engineering Technology accreditation page.
