Mechanical Engineering Technology Outcomes

Students in the Associate of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology degree focus on problem solving and real-world application of applied engineering sciences and technology. Mechanical engineering technicians are real problem solvers with responsibilities ranging from those of a support technician to plant manager.

Graduates of the Associate of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology program should focus on:

• Acquiring knowledge, techniques, skills with modern tools of Mechanical Engineering Technology
• Conducting, analyzing and interpreting experiments and applying experimental results to improve mechanical processes
• Functioning effectively on a team in the preparation of reports and presentations
• Incorporating quality, aptness, and continuous improvement in expertise and professional behavior

Externships are opportunities for students to gain mentored, practical experience in a “real-world” job setting. Students are encouraged to complete an externship course. Career opportunities may be greatly enhanced for graduates who complete an externship. Each student will be assisted by Career Services in finding a suitable externship opportunity.
