The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is designed to train students in technology based, entry-level, occupations related to the mechanical and manufacturing engineering fields.
Many diverse occupations find their origins in the mechanical field.
These occupations include a variety of titles in the areas of drafting, production, testing, design, and analysis, to name but a few. Students graduating with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in the Mechanical Engineering Technology are qualified to play a support role in engineering professions in the industrial, consulting, scientific research, and manufacturing communities. Contribute to the solution of engineering and design problems involving mechanical systems, by utilizing knowledge and skills in electrical and mechanical principles, material performance and selection, basic machine elements, sound design and engineering practices. Apply computers and computer language to the solution of engineering problems. Utilize various quality tools and techniques such as SPC and TQM to support production in the manufacturing area and other applicable work situations to improve any and all quality measures.
