Mechanical Engineering Technology


The courses in this program cover a wide range of basic mechanical subjects. The program begins with a detailed examination of the fundamental relationships between force and motion. It then continues with several broad subjects that apply to all mechanical equipment-lubrication, bearings, drives, pumps, and piping systems. These subjects then come together in a pair of courses on hydraulics and another pair on pneumatics.
