Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MfgET)
Overview
Manufacturing Engineering Technologists are prepared for a variety of manufacturing positions. These include production engineer, process engineer, process development engineer, tooling design engineer, quality control engineer, and other vital manufacturing tasks.
This is a very hands-on curriculum, with a laboratory included in the majority of technical courses. The Manufacturing curriculum provides education in a variety of areas including manufacturing processes, robotics and automation, industrial controls, manufacturing tool design, computer aided design and manufacturing, engineering materials, manufacturing planning, and quality control. Interns may be exposed to multiple portions of the manufacturing process, including jig and fixture design, analysis, testing, management, and production.

Internship Timeframes
The following timeframes have been laid out by our participating universities for when an internship should be offered. These timeframes have been structured to allow students to participate in the program and not fall behind on their upper-division coursework schedule beyond the terms that internships overlap.
Oregon Tech
- Junior Year: Spring-Summer Internship
- Senior Year: Summer-Fall Internship
- Spring-Summer Internship: Internship occurring during Spring and Summer school terms (March through September).
- Summer-Fall Internship: Internship occurring during Summer and Fall school terms (June through December).
Coursework Requirements
Each participating university discipline has a set of required courses that must be taken to stay on schedule for program participation. These requirements are optimized to provide the necessary skills to participate in MECOP's internships while minimizing the amount of time added to receiving a degree. If you are a student and want to discuss your current academic qualifications and to plan out your curriculum for participation, please see our directory of advisors.
