Manufacturing Engineering Technology
Description
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology degree is focused on producing graduates to work as engineering technicians and first-line supervisors in manufacturing firms. The degree provides a broad foundation across many facets of shop floor expertise complemented
by knowledge in design and project coordination. Graduates will be able to lead projects across multiple disciplines in manufacturing firms. They will have the background to coordinate projects and lead work teams to design, build, install and improve industrial equipment and machinery and manufacturing processes in manufacturing firms. They will be able to work in almost any manufacturing setting from discrete manufacturing such as machine, injection molding and sheet metal shops to continuous flow and assembly line operations such as in the food processing and automotive industries.

Employment Opportunities
Engineering technicians held 532,000 jobs in 2004. About 36 percent of all engineering technicians worked in manufacturing, mainly in the computer and electronic equipment, transportation equipment, and machinery manufacturing industries. Another 22 percent worked in professional, scientific, and technical service industries, mostly in engineering or business services companies that do engineering work on contract for government, manufacturing firms, or other organizations. In 2004, the Federal Government employed 37,000 engineering technicians. State governments employed 39,000 people in this category, and local governments employed 27,000 such persons.
Overall employment of engineering technicians is expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2014. Competitive pressures will force companies to improve and update manufacturing facilities and product designs, resulting in more jobs for engineering technicians. In addition to growth, many job openings will stem from the need to replace technicians who retire or leave the labor force. (Source: DOL Occupational Outlook Handbook 2006-2007)
A Promising Career
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program prepares students to work in a manufacturing environment across disciplines. Job titles may include Manufacturing Engineering Technician, Project Coordinator, Junior Manufacturing Engineer and Quality Control Technician. These personnel possess broad knowledge of technical areas and have the ability to work with others. Based upon their understanding of the entire manufacturing operation, they can coordinate complex projects across disciplines. Such projects may include installing new equipment, improving the performance of existing equipment, or collecting and analyzing process data for decision-making.
Program graduates can work in any manufacturing setting from discrete manufacturing (such as machine, injection molding, and sheet metal shops) to continuous flow and assembly line operations (such as in the food processing and automotive industries). Experienced graduates may advance into manufacturing management, project management or senior technical positions.
