What will I learn in the program?

The program includes general education courses as well as the classes specific to mechanical engineering technology (MET). The general education classes give you a broad knowledge base outside of the engineering realm, and sharpen your writing and oral communication skills.

Courses within the MET major include math, physics and fundamental engineering sciences. In addition, the MET major includes courses in related areas important to the designer, such as materials and processes, computer-aided design and other computer applications. The focus is on mechanical design and analysis. You will participate in a mini-baja senior project to design, produce and test a rugged, single-seat, off-road recreation vehicle.
