The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in
Manufacturing Engineering Technology was initiated in 1985 under the leadership of its
founding program coordinator, Professor Robert L. Wolff. From the beginning, it has been
based solidly on the curriculum recommendations of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers
(SME). Professor Wolff has been an active participant in national program planning
activities of SME. The creation of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology program was in
response to student interest as it was noted that the career paths of many graduates of
the earlier programs led them into the manufacturing field. The program is one of the most general
of those in the Department of Engineering Technology. It contains strong major
manufacturing courses throughout the four years of the program along with important
aspects from the Mechanical Engineering Technology, Industrial Engineering Technology, and
Electronic Engineering Technology programs. The program is accredited by the Technology
Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC of
ABET). |
