Student Outcomes


Based on the program objectives and ABET Criteria (2018-2020), the following program outcomes that all graduates of MET program, at the time of graduation, will demonstrate are:

  1. an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
  2. an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
  3. an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
  4. an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
  5. an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.


For baccalaureate degree programs, student outcomes must include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Application of principles of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing;
  2. Use of computer aided drafting and design software;
  3. Perform selection, set-up, and calibration of measurement tools/instrumentation;
  4. Elements of differential and integral calculus;
  5. Manufacturing processes;
  6. Material science and selection;
  7. Solid mechanics (such as statics, dynamics, strength of materials, etc.);
  8. Mechanical system design;
  9. Thermal sciences (such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, etc.);
  10. Electrical circuits (ac and dc) and electronic controls;
  11. Application of industry codes, specifications and standards; and
  12. Technical communications typically used in preparation of engineering proposals, reports, and specifications.


The capstone experience, ideally multidisciplinary in nature, must be project-based and include formal design, implementation and test processes.

Mechanical Engineering Technology Curriculum

The curriculum prepares baccalaureate degree graduates with the knowledge, techniques, skills, and use of modern equipment in mechanical engineering technology. Baccalaureate degree graduates build on the strengths of associate degree programs by gaining proficiency in the analysis, applied design, development, implementation or oversight of more advanced mechanical components, systems or processes. Programs may focus on preparing graduates with in-depth but narrow expertise, while other programs may choose to prepare graduates with a broad spectrum of expertise. The depth and breadth of expertise demonstrated by baccalaureate graduates must support the program educational objectives. The following curricular topics are required (unless the program’s faculty and primary constituents approve the substitution of other specific, mechanically-related technical subjects supporting attainment of program educational objectives).
