| Mechanical Engineering Technology emphasizes practical
applications of the principles in the mechanical field. Design, manufacturing and
management problems are the professional concern of the mechanical engineering
technologist. The mechanical engineering technology program is an
integrated, four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Technology. The curriculum includes strong emphasis in mechanical and computer-aided
design and manufacturing, along with thermal systems.
The program of
study for students of mechanical engineering technology includes a series of courses which
provide general education in the humanities, arts, social and natural sciences. The
technical courses emphasize the use of rational thinking in the solution of technological
problems.
The program's
objective is to provide collegiate education for young men and women preparing to become
competent engineering technologists. Its strength lies in the orientation toward design,
problem solving and practical application of mechanical principles. Students have access
to modern,
industrial-scale equipment for computer-aided design, robotics and computer numerical
control machining as well as conventional laboratory equipment.
This
program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET).
