Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology
 The Mechanical Engineering Technology program offers a broad preparation for applied engineering practice. Emphasis is placed on understanding how engineering principles are applied in practice. Students customize their degree with either a general mechanical engineering technology concentration or three other specialized concentrations: aeronautical, automation and automotive.
Aeronautical
The aeronautical concentration includes six key aeronautical engineering content areas: aircraft systems, aircraft design, gas dynamics and propulsion, aircraft structures, composite materials manufacturing and wind tunnel testing. It prepares students for employment in one of the many aeronautical-related companies in the aerospace sector.
Automation
The Mechanical Engineering Technology automation concentration builds a comprehensive specialty in machine and process automation. Coursework contains a wide base of critical competencies in automation, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, actuators, mechanical design and system integration. The automation concentration is a direct result of input by the MMET Department's Industrial Advisory Board. A new automation teaching laboratory has been developed, providing a home for both MMET classes and industry training short courses.
Automotive
The Mechanical Engineering Technology automotive concentration provides comprehensive exposure to the design of modern automobiles with a special focus on vehicle efficiency. Coursework focuses on applied engineering of internal combustion engines, vehicle components and systems, highly efficient vehicle propulsion systems and laboratory experiences.

Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering Technology
 The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is the only manufacturing bachelor’s degree program in the state of Arizona. The program is "practice-based" and incorporates extensive laboratory experiences and industry projects. Students gain a solid understanding of traditional manufacturing processes, advanced processes (including computer-numerical-controlled machining), non-traditional processes and fabrication. In addition, extensive coverage of manufacturing planning, management, quality assurance and decision making are critical components of the coursework. Students also gain understanding of design via courses in statics, strength of materials, machine design and a two-semester capstone project.
Specialty courses add richness to the curricula. For example, the composite materials manufacturing course is a unique course offering manufacturing perspectives, within an aerospace context, of producing composite material parts and structures.
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program has one concentration area: Mechanical Engineering Technology.
Mechanical Engineering Technology
This concentration prepares the manufacturing engineering technology student for positions more closely related to design and testing in product-oriented industries. The option provides additional material in applied thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and machine design.
