Mechanical Engineering Technology - Rochester Institute of Technology

Mechanical Engineering Technology from Rochester Institute of Technology is a Campus Bachelor Mechanical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Program Overview Mechanical engineering technology involves understanding how products and machinery work and how to design, make, or use them. From consumer products to high-performance automobiles, air-conditioned environments and jet aircraft, mechanical engineering technology has changed society for the better. Students study the foundations of mechanics, materials, and energy and learn technical skills such as computer-aided design, computer-aided engineering , testing materials, and making parts. Students apply these principles and skills to the various fields of mechanical engineering technology?such as product and machine design, power generation, utilities and manufacturing?through laboratories and design projects. Full-time students gain valuable industrial experience through the required cooperative education program. Goals Students are prepared for professional careers in machine design; manufacturing; test engineering; field service engineering; technical sales; thermal design; product design; utilities operations; heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning design; or plant operations. The program emphasizes the development of a design methodology and is reinforced by project-oriented assignments. Curriculum Students first develop their skills in the fundamentals of mechanics, mathematics, materials technology , and computer-aided design. Later, courses focus on both mechanical design and applied thermofluid engineering . The program includes five technical electives and three free electives. These courses can be used to create a specialization in such areas as product design, air conditioning, thermal power, plastics processing, and manufacturing. A substantial amount of laboratory and product work is required. Teamwork, technical writing, and computer use are emphasized throughout the program. Concentrations In the last three quarters of the program, students may select a concentration in one of the following areas: product design heat, power, and HVAC plastics processing View more details on Rochester Institute of Technology .
