About the Program
The careers of mechanical engineering technology graduates take them to a variety of employers (e.g. Rockwell Automation, Fender Guitars, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar) yet they have many skills in common: problem-solving, leadership and teamwork. The program focuses on the methods, materials, machinery and manpower necessary to effectively operate in a manufacturing environment. You’ll learn how to manage people, machines, and production resources to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.

The SOET Professional Experience requirement is intended to document those experiences which help expose SOET students to the expectations of their professional prior to graduation. This may occur through industrial experience, technical or administrative involvement with community service, military service, et cetera. Approval has been granted for the following experiences. Additional experiences may also satisfy this graduation requirement. Requests for approval should be submitted to the SOET Curriculum Subcommittee Chair for consideration, allowing at least four academic weeks for review and response. Table 1: Approved Professional Experiences Approval by | Experience | Automatic | Any TECH Professional Practice course (co-op, intern, etc.) | Automatic | MET 29900 Internship for Credit | Automatic | Industry-sponsored senior capstone | Automatic | EPICS courses, minimum of two | Automatic | Lab Assistant (satisfactory completion of a minimum of one lab division for one term; e.g., ECET 29900 or MET 39200) | Advisor | Any approved internship (assuming student and/or employer provide documentation) | Advisor | Military service (ROTC, reservist, active duty, veteran) | Faculty | Other undergraduate research experiences (e.g., employed in the AEL as lab technician) | Faculty | Independent study - by petition to ensure the project meets the spirit of the requirement | Faculty | Professional society/club activities (e.g., led the Solar Racing team) - by petition | Faculty | Any approved employment
