This program prepares students for multiple industries, equipping them with skills in design, automation, and manufacturing, and a deep understanding of material and process dependencies.
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:
- 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.
- Provide increasing level of leadership and responsibility.
- 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.
