Programs: Manufacturing Engineering Technology

Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MFET) concerns the developing field of automated manufacturing and materials handling. The use of computers applied to design, machining, and manufacturing of products as well as quality and process control is emphasized. Graduates of the program are prepared to enter manufacturing industries as technicians, engineering aides, production assistants, and quality control assistants. Manufacturing technologists inevitably will work with mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineers engaged in product or plant design and in production and quality control. With the accumulation of work experience, promotion to supervisory or applications specialist positions is often possible.
