Department of Engineering Technology

Manufacturing Engineering Technology is designed for those individuals interested in careers in the manufacturing, distribution, or service industries. Students will study a combination of technological and mechanical concepts coupled with quantitative management techniques that will enable them to design, control, and manage both traditional and automated industrial systems that utilize complex machinery and computer controlled production systems.

Graduates of this program are employed in the areas of quality assurance, supervision, plant management, materials handling, industrial safety, systems planning, process planning, computer integrated manufacturing, product development, technical sales, and warehouse management.
