About the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology

Are you interested in applying scientific methods, harnessing mathematical principles, and leveraging critical thinking? Mechanical engineers invent, design, analyze, build, and test machines, systems structures an materials to fulfill objectives and requirements while considering the limitation imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.

Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) is the profession in which knowledge of applied mathematical and natural sciences coupled with principles of technology gained by study and laboratory activity, is used to implement technological advances.
