Institutional and General Education
Please refer to the General Education Requirements in
the undergraduate section of this catalog. For the
knowledge component, MET majors need to take nine
credits (three courses) each in the areas of Humanities
(includes SPCOM 103) and Social Sciences (includes
History). No additional courses are needed in Science
and Technology.
Outcomes Assessment Activities
• To be eligible for graduation, all mechanical
engineering technology majors are required to
take an examination. The results of the examination
will be used in the evaluation of the program.
The results for individual students will be kept in
strict confidence; however, any individual student
can obtain her/his results for advisory purposes.
Test results will have no effect on student’s GPA.
• Graduates and their employers will be surveyed
as to program satisfaction and job performance
during the first, third and fifth years following
graduation.
MET MINOR
A minor in MET is currently offered; but no new
students are being accepted into the minor program.
The MET minor is designed for students in the math,
science, and technical areas of study. Their
background in math and physics is essential to
understanding the technical courses. Students from
other areas of study may have to take additional
courses in math and physics.
