Accredited Programs

The MET program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET). Courses taught during the day and evenings are equally accredited, giving students additional scheduling flexibility. Day and evening courses are fully interchangeable!

Student Activities

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has a very active student chapter on campus. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) also strongly support student activities. On a college level, a significant number of MET students participate in the activities of the student tribunal. These organizations offer dynamic possibilities for student recreation and professional development.

Senior Design

The senior design sequence is the capstone of the MET program. The sequence comprises the whole design, build, and test philosophy the department embodies. Within the senior design sequence, students research the market, propose a solution, write specifications, analyze requirements, and finally, design, build, test and document their creation. Many projects are industry-sponsored; some resulting in patents. For a number of students, the senior design project becomes a platform for starting their own business. Final projects are presented at Applied Science Tech-EXPO in May. All projects are reviewed by industrial judges; the best receive awards. Companies often actively recruit at Tech-Expo, only to find that by May, most graduating seniors have already accepted competing offers. their careers.
