As proof of its strength, the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology accredits the program. The Mechanical Engineering Technology Program provides students with a background in mathematics, physics and related technology subjects.
Graduates are prepared to enter the workforce as mechanical engineering technologists.
In this line of employment, workers perform a wide variety of tasks ranging from the design of a system or element to its production, installation and performance. The mechanical engineering technology field balances the concepts of mechanical systems design with the application of the theory in practice. Therefore, mechanical engineering technologists are a hybrid of engineers and technicians. As an engineer, mechanical engineering technologists can handle the theoretical design. As a technician, they can handle the performance, installation and calibration.
