Accredited by the Engineering Technology Commission ETAC of ABET, www.abet.org.
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology curriculum offers preparation for entry positions in manufacturing industries. Understanding of materials and production processes equips graduates to plan manufacturing practices and to develop tooling, machines and systems necessary for efficient production. Program minors allow students to specialize in cast metals or plastics.
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology Educational Objectives are:
- Plan, design, analyze, implement, and improve cost-effective manufacturing service systems.
- Build and use management tools to analyze and solve production problems effectively, and make decisions from a systems perspective.
- Communicate effectively in verbal, written, and graphic forms.
- Pursue professional growth and interact effectively in work environments.
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology Student Learning Outcomes are:
- An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, or technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems.
- An ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly-defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives.
- An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
- An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements; to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments; and to apply experimental results to improve processes.
- An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
