Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology - Manufacturing Engineering Technology

The goal of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program is to become the leading source of manufacturing graduates, and to provide manufacturing knowledge for the state of Kansas, the region and the nation. The program will continue to generate graduates who quickly become valuable resources and leaders in their companies. The students, faculty and staff will be actively engaged in modern educational methods and applied research through interactions with industry, government agencies, and the community.

The graduates of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology program work in all segments of manufacturing and industry throughout the world. Many companies recruit on campus and at annual career fairs both on and off campus. Pittsburg State University's Manufacturing graduates are highly sought after for a variety of positions. One of the tools employed to assure quality is the Senior Project or Capstone experience. The year long sequence is a design and build exercise with real world relevance. This helps assure that graduates leave Pittsburg State University with tangible skills and are very competitive in the marketplace.

The Manufacturing program is housed in the Kansas Technology Center. It provides modern classroom and laboratory facilities including: Welding, Fabrication, Metal Casting, Material Analysis, Machine Tools and CNC Laboratories. The courses in Manufacturing Engineering Technology emphasize application more than theoretical development and enhances classroom studies with hands-on, high-tech laboratories. A dedicated space is also provided for seniors to work on their Capstone projects.
