Mechanical Engineering Technology Degree

Curriculum for students entering program in 2010-11.

The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is designed to educate technicians in the mechanical engineering field. The program includes courses in the areas of design, manufacturing and controls. Mathematics and physical sciences are emphasized to give students the basic knowledge to cope with changing technology. Course work incorporates theory and practice along with extensive computer application in drafting and design. English and social science courses are taught as part of the program to broaden and improve communication skills.

The degree of Associate in Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology is awarded upon successful completion of the program. Graduates are employed in positions such as assistant engineer, machine designer, engineering sales representative, engineering laboratory technician, technical supervisor and CAD operator. A 3-year version of this program is available. Contact the Department Head for details.

This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202--Telephone (410) 347-7700
