Manufacturing Engineering Technology, BS

Central to Innovating System Production.

Central’s BS in Manufacturing Engineering Technology provides graduates with solid knowledge and marketable skills in applied engineering. With a solid foundation in the sciences complemented by general technical mechanical and manufacturing courses, as well as manufacturing-specific technical courses, students become adept in engineering graphics, 3D modeling, engineering materials and mechanics, manufacturing processes, instrumentation, hydraulics and pneumatics, electronics and electric power, CAD/CAM, geometric tolerancing, design, and engineering economics.

Students graduate with expertise in state-of-the-art computer tools used by major corporations, and their ability to solve real-world engineering problems makes them highly sought after by industry recruiters.

Program Features

  • Well-balanced mix of analytical, experimental, and hands-on activities
  • Classes on campus, online, and in hybrid format
  • Two-semester, sometimes industry-sponsored, capstone design project
  • Learn from excellent instructors in high-tech classrooms that provide real-world experiences and examples
  • Attend full- or part-time
  • Internship opportunities
  • Financial aid and scholarships available
  • Free on-campus child care available
