Mechanical Engineering Technology (AAS)

Fundamentals

The Mechanical Engineering Technology program at UA teaches students how to operate and maintain mechanical systems.  

Mechanical engineering technicians are needed in all industries, from steelmaking to consumer products such as tires, cars, and home appliances. They work along with engineers in design, testing, manufacturing, and servicing of the mechanical components and systems found everywhere in industry.

Program highlights:

• Core classes provide students with a comprehensive understanding of mathematical and scientific principles.
• Students gain thorough grasp of engineering technology principles.
• Technical courses are presented using graphical tools as well as incorporate algebra, trigonometry and geometry as primary analytical tools.
