Laboratory work includes demonstration of basic electrical concepts using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, function generators, counters, wattmeters and bridges. Think of a high-tech production center with lasers, armies of robots and computers being used by highly skilled teams of professionals. That's Mechanical Engineering Technology. The successful student in this program enjoys understanding how and why things work, has reasonably good analytical abilities, the ability to visualize, and an active imagination to solve problems. The employment prospects in mechanical engineering technology are excellent.
Graduates have many options locally, statewide and nationally.
Product design, production planning, quality control, process engineering, production or system operation, manufacturing systems, field service, or product evaluation are all job possibilities. The MET graduate may choose to transfer directly into a bachelor of technology program, or, with additional courses at BCC, into a four-year engineering program.
