Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering Technology
Mechanical Engineering Technology
The Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum embraces the application of engineering principles to the design, manufacture, installation, and operation of machines and mechanical systems. The program emphasizes basic principles used in the development and production of such devices as tools, machinery (including production machinery), parts fabrication and more. The student receives a strong foundation in the fundamental areas of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, machine tools and measurement techniques. Classroom lectures are supplemented by laboratory experiments designed to illustrate the application of basic principles in practical devices. Graduates of this program are prepared to work in such fields as machine tools, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, environmental control, and maintenance.
Minor
Minor in Energy and Conservation Technology - The Energy and Conservation Technology program is designed to assist engineering technology students who wish to organize a portion of their undergraduate experience around issues related to Energy Use and Conservation Technology. Student must register in one of the four academic disciplines-Civil, Electrical, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering Technology. Within the College of Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering Technology's guidelines and requirements, the student should fulfill the curriculum requirements in two areas:
- Basic core courses in the student's major area- Civil, Industrial, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
- Basic technical courses which develop the methods of energy power analysis.
Policy
Students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology who satisfy the general requirements of the University and complete all the requirements of the University and complete all the requirements as listed in the curriculum which lead to the degree pursued are awarded degrees appropriate to their curricula. Students entering the department enrolled in Math 100 cannot enroll in EET 170 (Introduction to Engineering Technology) until a grade of at least a "C" is obtained in Math 100. Students entering the department are placed in a mathematics souse which is consistent with their proficiency in mathematics as determined by test results.
- A grade of "C" or better in major courses
- A grade of "C" or better in all ET courses;
- Engineering Technology majors are required to complete a Senior Project Course as well as earn a passing grade in the Fundamentals of Engineering Technology Examination (FETE)
