Graduates of the Manufacturing Engineering Technologies (MET) degree & certificate programs are industry-ready professionals with the knowledge & skills to increase domestic and global manufacturing efficiency. Students will accomplish this through optimal use of modern and cutting-edge manufacturing & automation technologies. Today’s Manufacturing Engineers & Technicians must also possess a broader range of skills and knowledge – beyond the traditional “machinist” skillset – in order to be successful in their careers. These skills focus on the entire manufacturing processes of components and assemblies throughout a factory, from raw material to finished products. To accomplish this, students will learn & practically-apply innovative manufacturing engineering techniques. Students who complete the Manufacturing Engineering Technologies AAS-T Degree will also have the ability to further their education at any time following graduation, by enrolling in our Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechatronics Engineering Technology and Automation (BAS–META) – the first Bachelor’s degree in mechatronics to be offered in the Pacific NW.
