BSET In Mechanical Engineering Technology : |
|
|
The Mechanical Engineering Technology (MCT) Program prepares students for diverse and dynamic careers in industry. MCT graduates work in fields that require understanding of the relationships and dependencies among materials, product development, manufacturing systems and processes, or energy production, transformation and transmission (including alternative energy). The program emphasizes hands-on laboratory experiences, and courses stress the practical application of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve real world problems. The MCT program provides students with a well-rounded education focused on the knowledge of existing and new developments in their technical specialty.
The BSET-MCT program offers students the opportunity to specialize in one of three specialty tracks namely: design, energy, or manufacturing. Courses can be chosen from a variety of technical areas including:
- Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics
- Energy Conversion and Heat Transfer
- Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines
- Design of Machine Elements
- Hybrid Vehicle Technology
- Applied Vehicle Dynamics
- Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing
- Manufacturing Analysis and Processing Engineering
The MCT program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC – ABET).
