MET Program Description

Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) comprises a wide range of technical and engineering related activities including design, development, testing, manufacturing, and production; field service engineering; and marketing sales.  The scope of Mechanical Engineering Technology includes transportation, power generation, fluid power, energy conversion, climate control, machine design, manufacturing and automation, and process control.

Mechanical Engineering Technology at Oklahoma State University is a Bachelor of Science program that offers graduates the education breadth and depth to fill challenging and rewarding positions.  The courses stress the application of scientific and technical knowledge.  Laboratory courses provide opportunities to observe and apply scientific and technical concepts.

THE PROGRAM IS A FOUR-YEAR B.S. DEGREE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON:

• CAD and Solid Modeling
• Fluid Power (Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electronic Control)
• Applied Engineering Analysis
• Manufacturing and Materials

MET APPLIES: 

• Engineering and scientific knowledge
• Practical skills
• Current technologies

All of these are designed to prepare graduates for employment within industry’s engineering team.

WHAT MAKES MET DIFFERENT?

• Courses in MET every semester
• "Hands On" Laboratories with most courses
• Emphasis on applications in theory courses
• Opportunity to recover from High School performance problems
• Hard-working "average" students succeed
• Math and Science are heavily used, but significantly less than in Engineering
