This associate degree gives a broad base in mechanical technology, drafting, computer-aided design, manufacturing and design. Students learn to run mechanical tests, interpret data and help design equipment. Graduates can work as mechanical engineering technicians in testing laboratories, as field technicians, as engineering aides in manufacturing, or in quality control and sales and service. They may assist engineers with sketches, layouts, calculations and reports, and some students go on to a bachelor's degree. The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is planned as 5 semesters and 72 credits, using a mix of in-person and online delivery. Delta College publishes an estimated cost covering tuition and fees, with separate figures for in-district, out-of-district and out-of-state students.
