As a mechanical engineering technology (MET) student at ODU, you will take courses in areas such as computer-aided drafting, statistics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, automation and controls, and computer solid modeling. 

This online mechanical engineering technology program includes a minor in engineering or science and a senior project.

When you graduate, you will earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with a major in Mechanical Engineering Technology.

The online degree in mechanical engineering technology focuses on two integrated areas—design and management. The design area addresses design of mechanical tools, machines, and products. The management area prepares students to manage people, resources, and systems related to mechanical engineering and manufacturing. 

Get the skills to understand the practical uses of math, science and engineering. You'll graduate prepared for a rewarding mechanical engineering career.

Machines are at the core of our daily lives, and mechanical engineers are responsible for designing them. Mechanical Engineering students can specialize in four different areas: mechanical design, thermal sciences, manufacturing and materials, and aerospace.

Mechanical engineers create, build and ensure the safety of many of the world’s most relied-upon systems. Whether you’re working in the field of transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing or energy production, you’ll play a critical role in keeping the world moving as a mechanical engineer.

When you earn a mechanical engineering bachelor’s degree online with Oregon State University, you’ll gain traditional mechanical engineering training alongside computational engineering skills that are essential to the future of this field. You’ll also learn how to use computational models and algorithms to simulate, analyze and optimize how different mechanical systems perform — so you can better anticipate issues and rapidly prototype to solve complex engineering problems.
