Mechanical engineering
technology is the application
of engineering principles and
technological developments
to the creation of useful
machinery or products. and /
or computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) are often
used to design parts and
assemblies. Through the
application of computer-
aided manufacturing (CAM),
the models may also be used
directly by software to
create "instructions" for the
manufacture of objects
represented by the models,
through computer
numerically controlled (CNC)
machining or other
automated processes.
Mechanical engineering
technologists can have
many different titles in the
U.S. including: Mechanical
Engineering Technologist,
Product Engineering
Technologist, Mechanical
Designer, Product
Development Engineering
Technologist and
Manufacturing Engineer
Technologist. In the U.S. it is
possible to get an associates
or bachelors degree.
Individuals with a bachelors
degree in technology may
continue with further
courses in engineering and
go on to complete the E.I.T.
(Engineer in Training) exam
to eventually become
Professional Engineers if the
program is A.B.E.T
accredited.
Mechanical Engineering
Technology coursework is
less theoretical, and more
"hands-on" than a
mechanical engineering
degree. This is evident
through the additional
laboratory coursework
required for a degree. The
ability to apply concepts
from the chemical and
electrical engineering fields
is important. Mechanical
engineering technologists
are expected to apply
current technologies and
principals to machine and
product design, production,
and manufacturing
processes.
Mechanical Engineering
Technology coursework
Fundamental subjects of
mechanical engineering
technology include:
Dynamics
Statics
Fluid mechanics/fluid
dynamics
Machine design and
kinematics
Material science
Manufacturing process
Teg drafting and
standard familiarization
classes
Electronic circuit and
electrical analysis
[[HVA* Hydraulics and
pneumatics
Quality assurance
Technical
communications
Project management/
Operations management
The above subjects are
usually the core subjects of
MET programs/courses
globally, but because of the
multi-disciplinary nature of
MET the most obvious and
precise application of the
above modules are
Mechatronics Engineering or
courses/programs that are
at BSc level which
emphasizes the application
of mechanical engineering
because Mechanical
engineering (BEng) is
usually involved with highly
complex conceptual
calculations, In the UK as
graduates of both BSc
(mechanical and similar bias)
and BEng degrees
Technologists are recognised
as Professional Engineers,
with a theoretical distinction
of BSc ( IEng) and BEng (IEng
with much easier access to
gain CEng). The term
Professional Engineer has a
very different meaning
between the UK and north
America. In the UK the term
Professional Engineer is not
a license to practice unlike
Canada or the USA; it is a
loose term that
encompasses engineering
technicians, Incorporate
Engineers and Chartered
Engineers which are
qualifications but not
professional licenses.
