As electronic and computer equipment becomes more sophisticated in business, industrial, commercial, medical and home settings, the EET is needed to maintain operate and modify these systems. Manufacturing engineering technology graduates provide support for the practical side of engineering achievement with emphasis upon the end product rather than the conceptual process. The technologist develops new and updates methods in the manufacturing process. The study of mathematics, considered the language of engineering, provides many career opportunities for graduates. Business, industry, government, secondary education, university teaching, and the military provide a multitude of professional options.
Mechanical engineers are concerned with the principles of motion, energy, and force.
They design advanced materials and structures to meet the demands of supersonic and hypersonic space travel. They work in the nuclear energy field on the design of electrical power plants. In the automobile industry, mechanical engineers design the various parts of a car, and in manufacturing companies, they develop computer systems that improve the production process. Some mechanical engineers work in areas not usually considered to require engineering. They work on projects involving the treatment of water, soil, and waste material.
