Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology

Rochester Institute of Technology

RIT's mechanical engineering technology degree teaches you how products and machinery work through course work and hands-on experiences. From consumer products to high-performance automobiles (electric vehicles, autonomous driving), aerospace systems (rockets, jets, drones), to bioengineered devices, and energy technologies, mechanical engineering technology has changed society for the better. Understanding how products and machinery work, as well as how to design, manufacture, or use technology to develop mechanical systems is the focus of RIT's bachelor of mechanical engineering technology. Mechanical engineering technology involves understanding how products and machinery work and how to design, make or use them.In our mechanical engineering technology BS, you'll study the foundations of mechanics, materials, and energy. You will learn technical skills such as: Computer-aided design (CAD)Generative designMaterials characterizationMechanical system analysis and designThermal-fluid system designProduct design and developmentYou also will learn to apply these principles and skills to the various fields of mechanical engineering technology--such as product and machine design, power generation, energy management, and advanced manufacturing--through laboratories and design projects. Full-time students gain valuable industrial experience through the required cooperative education program. Students may select an option in robotics and automation or product design.
