Mechanical Engineering Technology
What is mechanical engineering technology?
Mechanical Engineering Technology is the component of engineering that specializes
in design and application. MET includes the broad areas of mechanical design, mechanical
power and manufacturing.
Why mechanical engineering technology at OSU?
An important element in MET is the use of laboratory experience as a teaching tool.
The MET program has laboratories in fluid power, materials, fluid mechanics, applied
thermal sciences, basic instrumentation, computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing.
A senior capstone design course, composed of student teams, integrates the knowledge
and skills learned during their course of study.
