The Manufacturing Engineering Technology degree enables students to build a career in manufacturing. It is focused on producing graduates to work as engineering technicians and first-line supervisors in manufacturing firms. The degree provides a broad foundation across many facets of shop floor expertise complemented by knowledge in design and project coordination.
Graduates will be able to lead projects across multiple disciplines in manufacturing firms. They will have the background to coordinate projects to design, build, install and improve industrial equipment and machinery and manufacturing processes in manufacturing firms. They will possess an understanding of manufacturing operations and possess the interpersonal skills to lead work groups. They will be able to work in almost any manufacturing setting from discrete manufacturing such as machine, injection molding and sheet metal shops to continuous flow and assembly line operations such as in the food processing and automotive industries.
The program can be completed in two years, if the student is enrolled full-time, and consists of 28-30 hours of general education courses, 34 hours of manufacturing engineering technology core requirements and 6-8 credit hours of electives.
