Mechanical Engineering Technology (BS)

What is Mechanical Engineering Technology? 

The Mechanical Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.M.E.) Program prepares students for diverse and dynamic careers in industry. B.S.E.T.M.E. graduates work in fields that require understanding of the relationships and dependencies among materials, product development, manufacturing systems and processes, or energy production, transformation and transmission (including alternative energy). The program emphasizes hands-on laboratory experiences, and courses stress the practical application of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve real world problems.

What can I do with a Mechanical Engineering Technology Degree? 

Graduates of baccalaureate engineering technology programs have been very successful in obtaining professional employment relevant to their education. Wayne State engineering technology graduates are employed in:

  Course planning 

The following courses are required to finish the degree requirements.  Any pathway course(s) not completed at the community college can be completed at Wayne State University. 

Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering Technology

 Transfer credit summary

• WSU requires a minimum of 30 hours in residency. 
• You can review how courses transfer using the course equivalency tool for other acceptable equivalences.

Engineering Technology Scholarships

• WSU ASSET scholarship ($10,000 per year)

How do I get started?

• Join Wayne State Transfer Pathways
• Schedule a WSU Transfer Success Appointment         
• Meet with your academic advisors and track your academic progress 

Notes

• The pathway allows multiple associate degree options with the flexibility to customize your degree path. The minimum eligibility to participate in the Wayne State Transfer Pathways is a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above, Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), and an associate degree (earned or Reverse Transfer).  
• All college-level (non-developmental), non-duplicated courses with a 2.0 (C) grade point average (GPA) or above will be considered for transfer credit.  Earned credit will transfer as 1) direct course equivalency, 2) major/department credit, or 3) elective credit. Credits not earned at the community college will need to be taken at WSU.  
• These pathways do not replace the importance of community college and Wayne State academic advising. The pathway provides a general roadmap to degree completion. 
• Career tool provides a broad overview of how major selection can lead to careers and is provided without any implied promise of employment. Some careers will require further education, skills, or competencies. Actual salaries may vary significantly between similar employers and could change by graduation, as could employment opportunities and job titles.
