MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE  |  DIPLOMA  |  CERTIFICATE

The Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum prepares graduates for employment as mechanical technicians. Typical assignments would include assisting in the design, development, testing, and repair of mechanical equipment. Emphasis is placed on the integration of theory and mechanical principles.

The Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum is designed to prepare students through the study and application of principles from mathematics, natural sciences, and technology and applied processes based on these subjects.

Graduates should qualify to obtain occupations such as technical service providers, materials and technologies testing services, process improvement technicians, engineering technicians, industrial and technology managers, or research technicians.

This course of study prepares the students to use basic engineering principles and technical skills to design, develop, test, and troubleshoot projects involving mechanical systems. Includes instruction in principles of mechanics, applications to specific engineering systems, design testing procedures, prototype and operational testing and inspection procedures, manufacturing system- testing procedures, test equipment operation and maintenance, computer applications, critical thinking, planning and problem solving, and oral and written communications. In this program a student will receive substantial instruction on techniques and procedures along with an emphasis on prototyping and simulations using SolidWorks software. High achievers will also successfully pass design certification exams including but not limited to the Certified SolidWorks Associate and Certified SolidWorks Professional exams (CSWA & CSWP + 16 more).

Graduates will be knowledgeable in, 

  • Mechanical Design

  • Design Theory and Principles

  • Fluid Mechanics,

  • Engineering Statics – (Mechanics of Structures)

  • Solid Modeling - SolidWorks

  • 3D Printing

  • Machining and Manufacturing

  • Introduction to Engineering

  • Manufacturing Materials
