Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MMET) prepares students for dynamic careers in a wide range of industries including and not limited to oil/gas, aerospace, transportation, technical service, and food/beverage. These careers involve design, manufacturing, automation, maintenance, technology development /integration, and technical field service. Graduates are versatile and effective in diverse areas that require understanding of dependencies among material properties, product design, costs, manufacturing systems, and process technologies.

The Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/. 

For more information about the MMET program, please see the program requirements.

MMET Program Mission

To actively recruit, train, and support qualified future professionals for industrial practice, applied research, and to develop innovative interdisciplinary technologies that create mutual benefits for the university, industry, government, and academic partners.

MMET Program Vision

To lead the advancement of manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology education and applied research for industry and academia.

MMET Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of the manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology program:

1. Apply manufacturing and mechanical technical knowledge, problem solving skills, and implementation skills for careers in design, installation, operations, technical sales, or service functions in industry.
2. Provide increasing level of leadership and responsibility.
3. Continue engaging in sustainable productivity in a dynamic work environment.

The freshman year is identical for degrees in aerospace engineering, architectural engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, data engineering, electrical engineering, electronic systems engineering technology, environmental engineering, industrial distribution, industrial engineering, interdisciplinary engineering, manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology, mechanical engineering, multidisciplinary engineering technology, nuclear engineering, ocean engineering, and petroleum engineering. The freshman year is slightly different for chemical engineering, biomedical engineering and materials science and engineering degrees in that students take CHEM 119 or CHEM 107/CHEM 117 and CHEM 120.  Students pursuing degrees in biological and agricultural engineering should refer to the specific curriculum for this major. It is recognized that many students will change the sequence and number of courses taken in any semester. Deviations from the prescribed course sequence, however, should be made with care to ensure that prerequisites for all courses are met.

¹

A grade of C or better is required.

²

Entering students will be given a math placement exam. Test results will be used in selecting the appropriate starting course which may be at a higher or lower level.

³

Of the 21 hours shown as University Core Curriculum electives, 3 must be from creative arts (see AREN curriculum for more information), 3 from social and behavioral sciences (see DAEN and IDIS curriculum for more information), 3 from language, philosophy and culture (see CVEN, EVEN and PETE curriculum for more information), 6 from American history and 6 from government/political science. The required 3 hours of international and cultural diversity and 3 hours of cultural discourse may be met by courses satisfying the creative arts, social and behavioral sciences, language, philosophy and culture, and American history requirements if they are also on the approved list of international and cultural diversity courses and cultural discourse courses.

⁴

BMEN, CHEN and MSEN require 8 hours of fundamentals of chemistry which are satisfied with CHEM 119 or CHEM 107/CHEM 117 and CHEM 120; Students with an interest in BMEN, CHEN and MSEN can take CHEM 120 second semester freshman year. CHEM 120 will substitute for CHEM 107/CHEM 117.

⁵

For BS-PETE, allocate 3 hours to core communications course (ENGL 210, COMM 203, COMM 205, or COMM 243) and/or 3 hours to UCC elective. For BS-MEEN, allocate 3 hours to core communications course (ENGL 203, ENGL 210, COMM 203 or COMM 205) and/or 3 hours to UCC elective.

⁶

See departmental advisor for a list of approved technical electives. Students interested in Co-op may use ENGR 385 for up to 3 semester credit hours. ENTC 485 is not for general use as a technical elective.

⁷

All students are required to complete a high-impact experience in order to graduate.  The list of possible high-impact experiences is available in the ETID advising office.

The curriculum lists the minimum number of classes required for graduation. Additional courses may be taken.
