Mechanical Engineering Technology
Degree Requirements
The objective of the curriculum in Mechanical Engineering Technology is to prepare the student for a position as an engineering technician or technologist in engineering support in the manufacturing industry, testing and design support functions. Graduates of the baccalaureate program are eligible to sit for the F.E. examination in most states as the first step toward registration as a Professional Engineer (P.E.). Students transferring into the program from other colleges and universities with deficiencies will be required to complete course prerequisites before enrolling in required upper-division courses.
