in theft respective schools. These courses carry graduate credit for those teachers who would use them as part of a master's degree program or for recertification. Mechanical Engineering Technology Location: Engineering Technology Building, Room 214 Telephone Contact: Wendy Reeves, 801-626-6305 E-Mail: met@weber.edu Advisors: Kirk D. Hagen, Daniel J. Magda Wlechanical engineering technology is the practical application of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering technologists play an integral role in product design and manufacturing process cycles which include planning, design, analysis, testing and documentation. They utilize skills in materials science, engineering mechanics, thermal science, design, instrumentation and technical writing. The program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., Ill Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone (410) 347-7700. The curriculum includes problem-solving courses such as statics, strength of materials, dynamics, machine design, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer that are based on engineering science and mathematics. Integrated into many of the courses are laboratory and project oriented experiences that teach the practical, hands-on aspects of mechanical engineering technology. A balanced blend of engineering science and practical applications provides the mechanical engineering technologist the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in today's technical workplace. Mechanical engineering technology has lead to numerous opportunities for exciting, creative and rewarding careers in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, electronics, manufacturing, medical equipment, mining and power generation.
