描述

bc菠菜导航’s Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical 工程 technology (MET) prepares graduates to enter careers in the design, 安装, 制造业, testing, 评价, 技术销售, or maintenance of mechanical systems or processes. 

The MET program focuses on 工程 design (mechanical design), analysis, 管理, 和制造业. With emphasis on computer-aided design (CAD) and its integration with other computer-aided 工程 (CAE) tools or technologies (e.g. 计算机辅助制造, 快速原型), students develop hands-on experience and technical problem-solving skills. 学生 also study 管理 aspects of 工程 design, 准备管理人员, 资源, and systems related to design 和制造业 while focusing on the design of mechanical products and systems. Most program faculty have relevant industrial work experience in addition to expertise in teaching and applied 研究, which contributes to the high quality of the laboratory-based instruction.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is the lead professional society for developing program criteria, 引导程序相关性, 并不断改进.
