Program Description: Manufacturing Engineering Technology - the manufacturing engineering technician designs tooling for the fabrication of mass-produced parts, monitors the manufacturing processes, and performs inspection. Students enrolled in SLCC’s AS Manufacturing Engineering Technology program will learn about all aspects of manufacturing. Specific topics include computer-aided drafting and solid modeling, materials and processes, manual and CNC machining, plastic and composites production methods and welding manufacturing. During their final semester, students will work as a member of a team that has been assigned a project. The team will design, solid model, tolerance study, document, CAM program and build the assigned project.
Career Opportunities: Two year graduates in Manufacturing Engineering Technology start from $28,000-$33,000 per year. Bachelor degree graduates start at $45,000. Graduates with BS degrees find jobs as manufacturing engineers, tooling designers, process engineers and project managers.
Transfer/Articulation Information: Graduates from SLCC’S AS Manufacturing Engineering Technology program can transfer into WSU’s program or work in industry as Machinists, Welders, Composites technicians, CNC programmers, Tool designers, Quality Control Inspectors, and CMM operators.
Admission into a major program at a transfer institution depends upon the receiving institution’s requirements for that major. Some major programs are restricted and require special application as well as a competitive GPA. See an Academic Advisor at both SLCC and the intended receiving institution for specific articulation information.
Estimated Time to Completion: If students follow the suggested semester schedule, time to completion is four semesters.
