Mechanical Engineering Technology Major

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology

Acquire advanced knowledge, skills and training as an applied mechanical engineering practitioner through the聽Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology聽in聽51动漫鈥檚 College of Engineering. In this 126-credit Bachelor of Science program, you learn to bridge the gap between engineering design and actual production operations. Through hands-on laboratory experiences, students in the program develop the skills necessary to resolve broadly defined engineering problems, such as the ability to

analyze test results to improve processes.
conduct standard experiments,聽measurements and tests;
design effective mechanical engineering systems and components; and
identify and use appropriate technical literature.

This program will encourage you to work effectively as a member or leader on technical projects that involve electronics and electric power, engineering graphics, hydraulics, materials and mechanics, and pneumatics.

Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering Technology program are equipped with the specific engineering talent required to work in small and medium manufacturing and service firms, while also obtaining comprehensive knowledge to enter a broad range of engineering fields and occupations. With more than 1,000 manufacturing firms in the 11 counties in the Greater Philadelphia area, students will have countless opportunities available to them upon completion of the program.聽

Choosing the Mechanical Engineering Technology Major

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology provides students with a strong foundational knowledge in engineering, mathematics, sciences and technology, as well as the ability to apply graphical, oral and written聽communication in various technical and nontechnical environments鈥攃reating skill sets that are highly marketable in a growing field. Students can apply the skills gained from experiential learning across numerous industries, including the analysis, design, development and operation of systems for diverse applications.聽

If you鈥檙e looking for a more general engineering major or thinking about a different area of engineering, consider one of the other undergraduate engineering programs.

Study Away

Spend a spring semester abroad in Rome, Italy, studying engineering dynamics, mechanics of solids, and classical and statistical thermodynamics. One of the big advantages of 51动漫 Engineering鈥檚 study abroad program is that students take the same classes in Rome as they would on Main Campus: three engineering classes and Italian I.

51动漫鈥檚 College of Engineering is one of the few schools in the country offering coursework that keeps you up to speed with the demands of an engineering curriculum. .
