Undergraduate Programs

Hands-on skills and creative problem solving — that’s the focus of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program at The University of Toledo.

UToledo MET majors learn how to develop, implement and supervise advanced mechanical systems and processes. We prepare students with the practical knowledge to enter careers in automotive and building design, mechanical system design, automation and control, invention and entrepreneurship.

Undergraduates get real-world engineering experiences through class projects and optional co-ops. UToledo also offers entrepreneurship and service opportunities.
