Manufacturing Engineering Technologies (MET) AAS-T Degree

CIP Code

15.0613

Graduates are industry-ready professionals with the knowledge & skills to increase domestic and global manufacturing efficiency. Students will accomplish this through optimal use of modern and cutting-edge manufacturing & automation technologies, acquiring knowledge and skills across one or more of six key disciplines:

  • Digital Manufacturing
  • Additive Manufacturing
  • Robotic Manufacturing
  • Subtractive Manufacturing
  • Automated Fabrication
  • Tool & Die Manufacturing


Within each of these six key disciplines, there are many areas of specialized focus which students can identify as essential to their future career, earning stackable micro-credentials along the path towards their degree.


Program Length

The program is approximately four to five (4-5) quarters long but can last shorter or longer, dependent upon:

  • The number of credits awarded from Credit Transfer (from other educational institutions)
  • The number of credits awarded from Prior Learning (joint service transcripts, industry certifications, individualized assessments, etc.)
  • The pace at which students are able sustainably take and complete coursework


Admission Dates

Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters.

Program Outcomes

• Employ safe practices while operating modern manufacturing production machines, equipment, & tools.

• Apply sustainability practices to manufacturing workflows through principles (e.g., Lean Manufacturing, Systems Approach) to increase overall production efficiency.​

• Operate complex machinery involving multiple forms of power and control to perform manufacturing processes.​

• Utilize new and emerging digital work environments to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, and optimization of manufacturing production processes.​

• Automate manufacturing systems and processes using new and emerging technologies.​

• Apply engineering design processes to create, implement, & troubleshoot production processes & systems.​
