COURSE CURRICULUM

A Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with a Mechanical and Manufacturing Systems option prepares graduates for a wide range of careers in modern industry where design, production, and systems optimization are essential. This degree develops applied engineering skills that allow students to work directly in manufacturing environments, product development teams, and industrial operations. Graduates often begin their careers as production managers, where they oversee manufacturing processes, coordinate workflows, and ensure efficient use of resources to meet production goals. Others enter roles as manufacturing engineers, focusing on improving production systems, implementing new technologies, and increasing efficiency and quality in industrial settings. Engineering technicians from this program support engineers by testing equipment, analyzing systems, and assisting in the development and maintenance of manufacturing processes. Quality engineers use statistical methods and process control techniques to ensure products meet strict standards and customer requirements. Product and process engineers are involved in designing, testing, and refining both products and the systems used to manufacture them, ensuring functionality, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Industrial engineers focus on optimizing complex systems, improving productivity, and reducing waste across manufacturing and service operations. Plant engineers are responsible for maintaining and improving the physical infrastructure of industrial facilities, including machinery, utilities, and production systems. Engineering applications analysts work with data, modeling tools, and software systems to solve technical problems and support engineering decision-making. Across all these roles, graduates apply knowledge of mechanical systems, automation, robotics, quality control, and computer-aided design to real-world challenges. The degree emphasizes hands-on experience, problem-solving, and collaboration with industry professionals, preparing students to contribute effectively in sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, energy, and industrial automation. With its strong focus on applied learning and modern engineering technologies, this program equips graduates to take on technical and leadership roles in dynamic and evolving engineering environments.
