MET Mission Statement: The Mechanical Engineering Technology program will equip graduates to use their knowledge and training to provide technical support and/or quality design to manufacturing/engineering processes for their employer and encourage staying abreast of changing technologies through continued life-long learning.

MET Educational Objectives:

1. MET graduates will be competent in a broad base of mechanical engineering technology theory, operations, standards, and current practices.
2. MET graduates will be competent practitioners in the hands-on use and practical applications of mechanical engineering technology needed to be successful in this field.
3. MET graduates will be prepared for the opportunity to obtain employment or advancement in a mechanical engineering technology related job and/or engaging in continued life-long learning.
4. The MET department will provide a balanced curriculum, qualified instructors, and safe, clean, functional, state-of-the-art facilities to facilitate the above three objectives.

MET Assessment Criteria: The measurement of the success of the MET Department to achieve its Educational Objective is by Annual Graduate and Employer Surveys which determine if MET Graduates are either working in their chosen field or continuing their education.
