Manufacturing Engineering Technology (Bachelor of Science, B.S.)
Manufacturing Engineering Technology is the profession in which an understanding and application of a broad range of technologies is necessary for production and control of manufacturing processes. Manufacturing includes methods of production of industrial commodities and consumer products. The manufacturing professional must be able to plan, design, and implement a sequence of operations using current technologies to produce products at competitive prices. Four-year B.S. degree graduates qualify for jobs related to production, productivity improvement, and process design. They also qualify for supervisory and managerial positions in plant engineering. The Manufacturing Engineering Department has three concentration Bio-Manufacturing, Design & Technical Graphics and Manufacturing Engineering (General). These concentrations will enable our students to focus on separate career paths in our region.
Program Educational Objectives (BS MET)
- Possess the general knowledge of the manufacturing industry such as concepts, terminologies, basic and standard problem-solving techniques.
- Demonstrate the ability to analyze and implement production systems in a manufacturing setting.
- Function effectively in a group environment in the industrial workplace through demonstration of technical and communication skills.
- Understand professional, ethical, and social responsibilities.
Students who choose this bachelor degree program will have no more than 6 years from admission or subsequent declaration to meet the requirements listed below. If certification, accreditation or statutory requirements change and additional requirements become effective during this time, the new requirements take precedence.
