About Mechanical Engineering Technology

The Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) offers a core curriculum with the choice of three concentrations:

Cooperative Education/Internships

Students can gain valuable on-the-job experience while in college through co-op education. Local manufacturing and engineering firms, as well as UT, have employed co-op students. A number of graduates have been hired full time where they served as co-op employees.

Job Opportunities

For information on salaries and placement, visit the Placement Office's web site.

High School Preparation

Students who have successfully taken high school science and mathematics (including algebra, geometry and trigonometry) tend to be best prepared for the curriculum.

Scholarships

Several scholarships, including those specifically for MET students, are available through the Pellissippi State Foundation and the Financial Aid Office.
