About Manufacturing Engineering Technology
Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) is the profession
in which the understanding of a broad range of technologies is
necessary to apply and control manufacturing processes. It includes
methods of production of industrial commodities and consumer products.
The manufacturing professional must be able to plan, design, and
implement the facilities, tools, machines, and the sequence of
operations for producing high quality products at competitive
prices.
The Department offers two-year AAS and four-year BS degrees in manufacturing Engineering Technology.
A.A.S Degree in Manufacturing (2-Year)
Career opportunities for two-year associate degree graduates of Manufacturing Engineering Technology include entry-level positions with industries engaged in plant design, machine and tool design, robotics and industrial automation, and computer-integrated manufacturing.
B.S. Degree in Manufacturing (4-Year)
Four-year B.S. degree graduates qualify for jobs related to production, process and productivity improvement, and process design. They also qualify for supervisory and managerial positions in plant engineering.
Graduates of Western's manufacturing program have a strong and broad
foundation that enables them to perform well in any field in which
