Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology

Typically the work of the engineering technologist is more hands-on and less math-intensive than that of the engineer. Working with an engineer, a mechanical engineering technologist (MET) may refine designs or develop new ideas and prepare design layouts and working drawings. METs may also work in areasA student works with a lathe in the machine shop. such as plant maintenance or research and development, as laboratory technicians, as production assistants, cost estimators, or in quality assurance and control.  Click here to learn more about the differences between mechanical engineering technology and mechanical engineering.
