The mechanical engineering technology (MET) program offers an opportunity for further education to students who have completed an associate's degree in mechanical engineering technology at a community college, technical institute, or who have an equivalent education. In addition to the mandatory courses as specified in the MET program, the student must take at least two cohesive electives from the approved list of MET electives. This option is accredited by TAC of ABET.

Typical Mechanical Engineering Technology AAS Program students who expect to transfer to the junior year of this B.S.E.T. program should have successfully completed most of the following courses or equivalent in their first two years of study.

A minimum of 64 semester hour credits is required in:

  • Communications
  • College Algebra and Trigonometry
  • Unified or Applied Calculus
  • Physics I and II/Chemistry
  • Computer Programming Language or Applications
  • Engineering Graphics
  • Mechanics I and II (Statics and Dynamics)
  • Social Science/Humanities
  • Strength of Materials with Lab
  • Kinematics/Mechanisms
  • DC/AC Circuits
  • Metallurgy
  • Manufacturing Processes
  • Computer-Aided Drafting
  • Physical Education

Electives

Open Elective in Humanities and Social Science GUR: Students must take one 300-level course from any of the following fields: English (Eng); history (Hist); literature (Lit); philosophy (Phil); science, technology, and society (STS); social science (SS); or theater (Thtr). Students also may satisfy this requirement with Architectural History IV (Arch 382) or by taking an approved 300-level course at Rutgers-Newark. The department recommends engineering technology majors take Eng 352 to fulfill this requirement.

Lit/Hist/Phil/STS GUR: Students must take one 300-level course from any of the following fields: literature; history; philosophy; or science, technology, and society (STS); or an approved 300-level course at Rutgers-Newark.

Capstone Seminar in Humanities and Social Science GUR: All students, except those enrolled in the honors college, take one of the following: HSS 403, HSS 404, HSS 405, HSS 406, HSS 407, HSS 408, HSS 409. Students enrolled in the honors college take one from HSS 491H-499H.

* Free: Consult the program coordinator. Students entering with fewer than 9 credits in humanities/social science must take an appropriate humanities/social science course to fulfill the NJIT GUR.

** Computer programming or applications course.

Suggested Technical Electives:

Co-op

A co-op course must be approved by the faculty advisor. For the B.S.E.T. option in mechanical engineering technology, MET 395 is taken as an elective for degree credit and MET 495 may be taken as additive credit.
