The Mechanical Engineering Technology Department has several programs that provide a foundation in many areas, including computer-aided engineering and graphics, energy systems, manufacturing and materials, automation, and product and machine design. Graduates find employment in these and many related areas.

The Mechanical Engineering Technology Department offers a unique combination of mechanical and electromechanical facilities and faculty resources. This enables the department to respond directly to new technologies as they evolve in areas such as controls, robotics, automation, process control, computer analysis, and sustainable/renewable energy applications. Each program provides useful career building skills for students who seek employment immediately upon graduation or continue their education toward advanced degrees.

Since the programs are related to nearly every company, product, or process, graduate placement is excellent. The Mechanical Engineering Technology Department maintains active contact with related industries and professional societies and works closely with them to assist graduates in obtaining employment opportunities. Additional interaction through projects and field trips is available through student chapters of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and the Society of Automotive Engineers.

Department Mission
