Parker, Blaine Thornock, Carl G. Wood IVIechanical Engineering Technology is the practical application of engineering science. Technologists play an integral part in the product design cycle, including design, analysis, and testing. They utilize skills in materials science, thermal science, design, stress analysis, writing, instrumentation, and teamwork to successfully compete in a technical workforce. The curriculum includes in-depth problem solving courses, such as statics, dynamics, and finite element analysis, that are based on mathematics and engineering science. Also included are many laboratory and project oriented courses that teach the practical, hands-on aspects of engineering technology, resulting in skills that are highly marketable in today's dynamic economy. Mechanical Engineering Technology provides an exciting, creative, and very rewarding career in the automotive, mining, testing, manufacturing, electronics, and medical equipment industries, and realizes excellent job opportunities throughout the country.
