Students who have earned the associate degree may elect to complete the bachelor's degree on either a full- or part-time basis. Courses in the bachelor's degree program further develop technical, communication, and managerial skills. Upon successful completion of the coursework, graduates are awarded the Bachelor of Science in Applied Science degree and are prepared for greater levels of responsibility and greater career advancement.
Graduates of the BSAS degree program obtain employment as engineers or engineering designers for government agencies, consulting engineers and architects, industry and manufacturing, and contractors. Because their education is more extensive, they are prepared for more responsibility and more-rapid advancement. BSAS engineers and designers plan, design, and inspect production and maintenance activities.
Based on an evaluation of their work, transfer students who have a related associate degree from a regionally accredited institution may be admitted to the bachelor's degree program at the junior level.
program Educational Objectives
Educational objectives for the mechanical engineering technology programs have been developed by faculty and the program industrial advisory committee to support the university, the college, and the School of Engineering Technology missions. Graduates of the MET associate degree program function as assistants in the design, drafting and testing of mechanical products, equipment and processes. Bachelor's degree graduates assume greater responsibility in the design and testing of mechanical products, processes, and equipment.
During their first few years after completion of the mechanical engineering technology program at YSU, graduates will have demonstrated the ability to:
- Work competently in technical and professional careers related to the field of mechanical engineering technology, with a path to the BSAS degree.
- Communicate effectively in a professional environment.
- Continue growth in professional knowledge and skills.
- Achieve recognition and/or compensation consistent with their educational achievements.
Accreditation and Registration
The mechanical engineering technology bachelor program is accredited by the ETAC Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. In most states, including Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, bachelor's degree graduates are qualified to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, and, with sufficient work experience, the Professional Engineers (PE) exam. Graduates are also qualified to apply to the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) for certification procedures in various specialty areas, depending on academic major and employment area.
