What is Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology?
Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MMET) is a “hands-on, minds-on” curriculum, focused on applying technical knowledge in addition to understanding theoretical content. Over 85 percent of MMET courses have labs associated with them. This allows students to learn about the basic theory behind a topic and quickly apply that knowledge in a real-world setting. MMET students gain experience using industry-grade manufacturing, metrology and test, automation and fluid power equipment.
What do MMET graduates do?
MMET graduates find challenging and rewarding careers in process engineering, design engineering, product development, systems integration, project management, systems engineering and more.
Where do MMET graduates work?
MMET graduates take technical roles in industries ranging from oil and gas to automotive to aerospace and more.
Why study MMET at Texas A&M?
Engineering technology is more application-focused and spends less time providing in-depth theoretical content. MMET is for “doers” who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. The goal of the MMET program is to develop graduates who are well prepared for industry and able to hit the ground running in a professional, technical role. The MMET program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET. This accreditation makes MMET graduates eligible for professional licensure.
