Welcome to the BSc. Engineering Technology - Mechanical Engineering Technology

The Mechanical Engineering Technology Concentration is part of the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology offered through the College of Basic and Applied Science at MTSU. This concentration enables students to obtain the skills necessary for placement in highly competitive jobs in machine design, manufacturing, engineering, field service engineering, technical sales, thermal analysis, product design, utility operations, air conditioning design, plant operations, and a variety of other professions. Through design projects and laboratory training, students examine how to relate such skills to a variety of fields in mechanical engineering technology including product and machine design, power generation, utilities, and manufacturing. The educational quality of this program is especially high in that it provides students with the opportunity to mesh their in-class experiences with project-oriented assignments and real-world experience in national competitions such as the NASA Great Moonbuggy Race, SAE Formula One Collegiate Competition, Solar Boat, and the Mini Baja Race.

Career Path

While many engineering schools focus on the theoretical, MTSU's Engineering Technology program excels in providing hands-on experiences and skills that are immediately transferrable to the workforce. Examples include Applications engineer, Energy applications manager, Energy operations engineer, Energy systems quality engineer, Engineering technologist, Field engineer, Lighting shop technician, Management trainee, Power plant manager, Professor.
