Majoring in Manufacturing Engineering Technology:

A major in manufacturing engineering technology prepares you to design, develop, test, install, operate and maintain industrial automation and manufacturing systems, including robots and other tools used in automated manufacturing. In this program, you will study fluid mechanics; manufacturing processes and materials, including plastics, ceramics and metals; materials testing; statistics and quality assurance; industrial robot programming; component design; welding; and adhesive bonding.

The major focus of the curriculum is manufacturing processing and factory automation in durable goods production.

The manufacturing engineering technology program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology [ 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, Md. 21202, telephone (410) 347-7700]. This accreditation means the program has passed strict academic standards for excellence in education.

Faculty members have degrees in electrical, mechanical, metallurgical and nuclear engineering. They average 10 years of industrial experience. Faculty members have worked for organizations such as Airgas Inc., Boeing Military, Electrotest, General Dynamics (Lockheed Martin), General Electric, Houston Engineering and Research, Integrated Technologies Inc., Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, among others.

Career Potential:

As manufacturing engineering technology major, you will be preparing for a career in the manufacturing/production environment. Manufacturing engineering technologists apply scientific and engineering technology in support of engineering activities. Graduates may find employment in research and development, process and equipment specification and design, reliability/quality assurance and tool design.

To advance in the field of manufacturing engineering technology, you may want to earn a master’s degree. UNT has one of the largest engineering technology graduate programs in the United States. To teach manufacturing engineering technology at a university, you likely will need a doctoral degree.

UNT’s Career Center can help you prepare to pursue your career. The center has information about jobs and employers with resume and letter writing, job search strategies and interview preparation.

Getting Hands on Experience:

The engineering technology department receives thousands of dollars per year in research projects and grants. Current faculty research interests include conceptualized systems, corrosion, cryogenic power sources, curriculum development, engineering/operations management, environmental concerns, finite element techniques, fluid dynamics, highway illumination, industrial adhesives, industrial training, materials engineering, metal and ceramic matrix composites, non-traditional propulsion systems, plastics processing, process control systems, space nuclear reactors, surface coatings, transportation studies, and welding and joining. For a senior project, you may work in one of these areas with a faculty member and/or for an industrial sponsor.
