Mechanical Engineering Technology

Catalog 2023-2024

Associate in Applied Science

Mechanical Engineering Technology provides the right combination of theory and hands-on training to prepare students for employment opportunities in the design, manufacture and set-up of mechanical equipment such as engines, power generation and control systems, and manufacturing systems (including robots). Specific job responsibilities include working as a designer, computer aided design/drafting, instrumentation and testing of machines and systems, and developing and troubleshooting manufacturing systems.

STUDENT OUTCOMES

Graduates of the Program will be able to:

  • ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities;
  • ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge;
  • ability to conduct standard tests and measurements and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments;
  • ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team;
  • ability to analyze, solve and design solutions for well-defined problems;
  • ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
  • understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;
  • understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity;
  • commitment to quality, timeliness and continuous improvement; and
  • apply specific program principles to the specification, installation, fabrication, test, operation, maintenance, sales or documentation of basic mechanical systems.
