The Associate of Applied Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology provides students with knowledge and skills in the manufacturing areas related to computer-controlled equipment and integrated manufacturing. Topics include drafting, materials testing, robotics applications and the use of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software for design and design documentation. The program articulates into Kent State's B.S. degree in Engineering Technology.

The Mechanical Engineering Technology major comprises the following concentrations:

• The General concentration includes coursework in microprocessors and robotics, manufacturing processes, computer-aided tool design and professional ethics.
• The Mechtronics concentration is cross-disciplinary and provides students with skills in electrical and electronic devices, hydraulics and pneumatics and programmable logic controllers.

The A.A.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org
