Short Courses, Workshops, Institutes and Special Programs (1-4) Consult the quarterly class schedule for the current offering under this number. The specific title and credit authorized will appear on the student transcript. Juniors and Seniors only. Faculty approval required. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY Advisers: David A. Erb, Kirk Hagen, Robert P. Parker, Blaine Thornock, Carl G. Wood Description Engineering Technology is that part of the technological field which requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities; it lies in the occupational spectrum between the craftsman and the engineer at the end of the spectrum closest to the engineer. The curriculum includes "hands-on" experience in shops and laboratories as well as in-depth problem solving courses based on mathematics and the engineering sciences. Successful students in this program reach levels of proficiency in making laboratory measurements, in calculating and in writing reports.
