ODU’s online Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with a major in mechanical engineering technology offers a clear path to completion and a credential employers recognize.
The online Mechanical Engineering Technology program prepares you to apply engineering principles and solve real-world problems in today’s workplace. You’ll develop job-relevant skills in computer-aided drafting and solid modeling, statistics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, automation and controls, and mechanical design.
The program emphasizes practical application, technical problem-solving, and effective written, oral, and graphic communication. You’ll also gain the computer literacy and technical skills needed to succeed in modern engineering technology careers.
Throughout the program, capstone design experiences provide opportunities to apply what you’ve learned to real engineering and design challenges.
When you graduate, you’ll earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with a major in Mechanical Engineering Technology. Senior electives allow you to further focus your studies in areas such as mechanical design, manufacturing, mechatronics, marine, or nuclear systems.
The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Mechanical Engineering Technology.
Graduates are eligible to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, an important first step to licensure as a professional engineer in Virginia and many other states.
