Purpose: Mechanical Engineering Technology is a great fit for students who want to take a hands-on approach to mechanical engineering. Mechanical Engineering Technologists participate in the design, development, testing, and manufacturing of industrial machinery, consumer products, engines, and other equipment. Thomas Nelson’s Mechanical Engineering Technology associate of applied science program emphasizes the application of scientific and engineering principles. The curriculum is grounded in math, science, and engineering principles with practical lessons in computer-aided drawing and design, composite materials, hydraulics, and other technical areas.
Course Offering: Primarily at the Hampton Campus both daytime and evening. Some classes are offered in distance learning and hybrid format.
Special Notes:This program articulates to Old Dominion University. Courses in this program include calculus and chemistry and provide the prerequisites for the junior level in a bachelor’s degree program.
