ABET Mechanical Engineering Technology

The New Jersey Institute of Technology Mechanical Engineering Technology Program (B.S. Engineering Technology) is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Mechanical Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs. 

MET Program Educational Objectives 

The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) Program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology. MET has the following Program Educational Objectives: 

1. Our graduates will possess the strengths to obtain and advance in positions that require analysis, applied design, development, implementation, or oversight of mechanical systems and processes. 
2. Our graduates will have the knowledge, problem solving ability, and hands-on skills to be successful in careers in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing, evaluation, technical sales, or maintenance of mechanical systems. 
3. Our graduates will have the foundation to take advantage of opportunities for life-long learning and professional development.

MET Student Outcomes 

Students from the MET Program will attain (by the time of graduation): 

1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline; 
2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline; 
3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature; 
4. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and 
5. An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

MET Program Criteria 

The following are the MET Program Criteria: 

1. Application of principles of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; 
2. Use of computer aided drafting and design software; 
3. Perform selection, set-up, and calibration of measurement tools/instrumentation; 
4. Elements of differential and integral calculus; 
5. Manufacturing processes; 
6. Material science and selection; 
7. Solid mechanics (such as statics, dynamics, strength of materials, etc.); 
8. Mechanical system design; 
9. Thermal sciences (such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, etc.); 
10. Electrical circuits (ac and dc) and electronic controls; 
11. Application of industry codes, specifications and standards; and 
12. Technical communications typically used in preparation of engineering proposals, reports, and specifications.
