Manufacturing Engineering Technology
- Major
Manufacturing Engineering Technology is all about innovation—finding smarter, safer, and more efficient ways to produce the products that power our world. From reducing cycle times and maintaining quality to improving safety and controlling costs, this applied engineering field drives real-world solutions.
Unlike traditional design engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Technology emphasizes hands-on problem solving. You’ll work closely with design engineers, technicians, and multiple departments—production, logistics, design, and testing—making collaboration a key part of your career. Our curriculum is built around practical experience, preparing you for an exciting role at the heart of modern manufacturing.
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Manufacturing Engineering Technology.
