The Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MFET) program will officially launch in Fall 2024. Students in this program are prepared for careers in a wide range of professional and technical positions with the manufacturing industry. The curriculum for the program was developed based on inputs from the Industrial Advisory Board and meeting ABET requirements for future accreditation.
At the beginning of their study, students in this program enroll in common courses such as manufacturing processes, automation and controls, computer solid modeling, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, statics, dynamics, physics, chemistry, and pre-calculus. Students then enroll in courses specializing in manufacturing and metrology such as robotics, mechatronics, manufacturing designs, quality control and modeling and simulation.
Supporting the student learning experience is the Smart Manufacturing Laboratory which is equipped with cutting-edge equipment such as precision dimensional measurement, assembly and distribution lines, and robots. The program culminates in a senior project that integrates coursework with a practical project assignment in the student's area of interest.
MFET offers a high-quality degree program that meets national standards of excellence. It is a significant component of the University's commitment to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, which are fields of major importance to the region. Graduates should be qualified for application positions in manufacturing systems design, development and manufacturing, maintenance, field operations, and various other technical functions.
Through the University's distance learning program, the MFET program provides opportunities for technical personnel throughout the state and elsewhere to enhance their education and pursue baccalaureate level studies. Simultaneously, the program supports the general education components that yield a well-rounded graduate who is aware of societal needs and issues.

Mission 桃花社区视频ment
The mission of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MFET) program is to sustain a high-quality undergraduate program of study leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree. It is a significant component of the University's commitment to science, engineering and technology, particularly in fields of major importance to the region. Through the University's distance learning program, the manufacturing engineering technology program provides opportunities for technical personnel throughout the state and elsewhere to enhance their education and pursue baccalaureate level studies. Simultaneously, the program supports the general education components that yield a well-rounded graduate who is aware of societal needs and issues.
The objective of the manufacturing engineering technology program is to prepare graduates to establish themselves as successful professionals in manufacturing systems or related areas during the first few years of their careers by having demonstrated their ability to:
- Identify and solve increasingly complex technical problems, both theoretically and practically, as raised by continually evolving technologies and industry needs and practices.
- Make educated, responsible, and ethical decisions in response to the needs of the profession and society, with these decisions solidly grounded in science and engineering fundamentals.
- Work effectively as member or leader of technical teams and clearly communicate ideas leading to successful team outcomes
The manufacturing engineering technology program has adopted, after deliberations by its constituents, five student outcomes for the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree program in manufacturing engineering technology. These outcomes are listed below:
- an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
- an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
- an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
The curriculum provides baccalaureate degree graduates with instruction in the knowledge, techniques, skills, and use of modern equipment in manufacturing engineering technology. Baccalaureate degree graduates build on the strengths of associate degree programs by gaining the knowledge, skills, and abilities for entry into manufacturing careers practicing various tools, techniques and processes. The curriculum must include instruction in the following topics:
- materials and manufacturing processes;
- product design process, tooling, and assembly;
- manufacturing systems, automation, and operations;
- statistics, quality and continuous improvement, and industrial organization and management; and
- capstone or integrating experience that develops and illustrates student competencies in applying both technical and non-technical skills in successfully solving manufacturing problems.
Message from the Program Director
Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MFET) is a new program starting in Fall 2024. This program focuses on the applications and practices of manufacturing engineering principles. A large variety of courses are offered in this program such as mechatronics, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. The state-of-the-art Smart Manufacturing Laboratory provides experience in instrumentation, testing and troubleshooting, and design and implementation.
Effective written, oral, and graphic communications are emphasized throughout the curriculum along with computer literacy. The program culminates in a senior design project that integrates course work with a practical project assignment in the student's area of concentration. Graduates from this program will have the technical skills necessary to enter careers such as in production, metrology, and modeling and simulation.
