Mission

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program is to provide a world class engineering technology education that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems through hands on projects and active learning experiences. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches.
