The purpose of the
mechanical engineering technology program is to provide education for
the application of scientific and engineering principles in the support
of mechanical engineering activities. This associate degree technician
program is similar to a bachelor degree, but the associate program
places more emphasis on practical application and experience.
As a mechanical engineering
technician, students may work in |
|
many areas. In design and
development, they would prepare sketches, drawings and layouts, and analyze
proposed equipment components. Analysis of cost and practical value of design
must be incorporated. Therefore, technicians must understand the mechanical
principles involving design, tolerance, stress, strain, friction and vibration. |
| Technicians may become
involved in testing equipment and materials for recommending design
changes, improving performance or eliminating production problems.
Therefore, technicians must be able to conduct projects, record and
represent data, analyze results and prepare formal reports.
The program is accredited by
the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
|
|
 |
|
Engineering and
Technology (TAC of ABET). |
 |
|
A graduate of this program
will earn an associate of applied science degree in mechanical
engineering technology. |

Fuel Cell Technology Track
The mechanical engineering technology/fuel cell technology track
incorporates mechanical, electrical and chemical technologies to
provide education for the application of scientific and engineering
principles focused on alternative energy sources and more
specifically, fuel cell technology. Students pursuing the fuel cell
technology track should substitute the following courses in the
mechanical engineering technology degree (see suggested course sequence):
•
MET229 Introduction to Alternative Energy and Fuel Cells (replaces
MET223)
•
MET230 Analysis and Applications of Types of Fuel Cells (replaces
MET228)
•
MET231 Fuel Cell Systems (replaces
MET221)
•
MET232 Fuel Cell Project (replaces
MET226)
•
CHM121 General Chemistry or CHM141 General Chemistry I (replaces
PHY122) |
