Mechanical Engineering Technology

Mechanical Engineering Technology

A.A.S. Degree (S)

The mechanical engineering technician applies theory and principles of mechanical engineering technology to develop and test processes, equipment, and mechanical systems in cooperation with an engineering staff; reviews project construction and engineering drawings to determine specifications, procedures, objectives, problems, and possible solutions; sets up and conducts tests and experiments for complete units or systems to investigate engineering theories regarding improvement in design or performance; analyzes indicated and calculated test results against design or rated specifications; records test procedures, results, and suggestions for improvement; and prepares engineering drawings, charts, and graphs. The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

To complete program requirements, you must pass the above courses and earn at least 65 credits. The number of courses and credits required for graduation may be more depending on your need for developmental education courses and the elective choices you make (if electives are a part of the program). Some programs also have college-level courses that you must take if you do not score at a certain level on the College Placement Test. If this applies to your program, the courses are listed at the top of the sequence sheet before the first semester of the course list.
