Mechanical Engineering Technology Coursework

Fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering technology include:

  • Dynamics
  • Statics
  • Fluid mechanics/fluid dynamics
  • Machine design and kinematics
  • Material science
  • Manufacturing process
  • Teg drafting and standard familiarization classes
  • Electronic circuit and electrical analysis
  • [[HVA* Hydraulics and pneumatics
  • Quality assurance
  • Technical communications
  • Project management/Operations management

The above subjects are usually the core subjects of MET programs/courses globally, but because of the multi-disciplinary nature of MET the most obvious and precise application of the above modules are Mechatronics Engineering or courses/programs that are at BSc level which emphasizes the application of mechanical engineering because Mechanical engineering (BEng) is usually involved with highly complex conceptual calculations, In the UK as graduates of both BSc (mechanical and similar bias) and BEng degrees Technologists are recognised as Professional Engineers, with a theoretical distinction of BSc (IEng) and BEng (IEng with much easier access to gain CEng). The term Professional Engineer has a very different meaning between the UK and north America. In the UK the term Professional Engineer is not a license to practice unlike Canada or the USA; it is a loose term that encompasses engineering technicians, Incorporate Engineers and Chartered Engineers which are qualifications but not professional licenses.

Famous quotes containing the words mechanical, engineering and/or technology:

    Industry has operated against the artisan in favor of the idler, and also in favor of capital and against labor. Any mechanical invention whatsoever has been more harmful to humanity than a century of war.
    Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.
    Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
