Manufacturing Engineering Technology

Manufacturing a brighter future

In the design lab or on the production floor, our Manufacturing Engineering Technology majors are the ones that make things happen – the applied expert between the engineer and the craftsman.

Our program prepares students for exciting careers in research and development, engineering, materials testing, quality control and more. With three different emphasis areas in Metal Casting, Design and Advanced Manufacturing, you can choose classes that fit your goals and interests.

As a student, you’ll have the chance to work in our outstanding facilities, including: a full production lab, our internationally recognized Metal Casting Center, and the Additive Manufacturing Center, which is a recognized world leader in research and development in the additive manufacturing industry.
