As a mechanical engineering technology student at Oregon Tech, you will have an educational experience that emphasizes hands-on learning. With a significant amount of our classes taught in labs using state-of-the-art equipment, upon graduation you will be ready to contribute to innovation and efficiency in a variety of industrial, commercial, and consulting organizations.
At Oregon Tech, we prepare students for a rewarding and exciting career path by providing them with practical knowledge and a well-rounded, career-relevant education. The Mechanical Engineering Technology degree curriculum is designed around a foundational core of applied coursework including:
- Computer drafting and modeling
- Solid and fluid mechanics
- Applied thermodynamics
Accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
Careers
Mechanical engineering technologists are needed throughout the design process of mechanical products to create blueprints, processes for assembly, to streamline production, provide quality assurance, and to inspect and test completed products. Without the work of mechanical engineering technologists, the products designed by engineers could not be produced with the efficiency and accuracy technologists provide.
As a mechanical engineering technologist, you can be hired in a variety of industries and can specialize in a variety of areas, including energy systems, applied mechanics, automotive design, manufacturing, materials, plant engineering and maintenance, pressure vessels and piping, heating, refrigeration, and air-conditioning systems.
