The MET program at the University of Massachusetts Lowell is designed to provide a sound background in basic engineering technology skills, supported by mathematics, basic sciences, communications and humanities.
Elective courses allow students to augment knowledge in areas suited to their individual needs.
Throughout the curriculum, emphasis is placed on the application rather than on rigorous theory. The Manufacturing Technology Option concentrates in product quality and manufacturing productivity. Most certificates can be attained in little more than a year with courses that can be applied toward the A.S. or B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology.
