(DRAFT) Mechanical Engineering Technology (BS)
What is Mechanical Engineering Technology?
The Mechanical Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.M.E.) Program prepares students for diverse and dynamic careers in industry. B.S.E.T.M.E. graduates work in fields that require understanding of the relationships and dependencies among materials, product development, manufacturing systems and processes, or energy production, transformation and transmission (including alternative energy). The program emphasizes hands-on laboratory experiences, and courses stress the practical application of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve real world problems.
Engineering Technology Scholarships
- WSU ASSET scholarship ($10,000 per year)
What can I do with a Mechanical Engineering Technology Degree?
Graduates of baccalaureate engineering technology programs have been very successful in obtaining professional employment relevant to their education. Wayne State engineering technology graduates are employed in: manufacturing engineering, maintenance, field engineering, production engineering, quality control, design, marketing, product testing, and technical supervision.

Notes
- You can review how all courses transfer using the course equivalency tool. For a self-service, customized WSU degree audit, please visit https://wayne.edu/transfer/tess
- Wayne State requires a minimum of 30 credits in residency.
- The pathway allows multiple associate degree options with the flexibility to customize your degree path. The minimum eligibility to participate in the Wayne State Transfer Pathways is a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above, Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), and an associate degree (earned or Reverse Transfer). See transfer credit guidelines.
- All college-level (non-developmental), non-duplicated courses with a 2.0 (C) grade point average (GPA) or above will be considered for transfer credit. Earned credit will transfer as 1) direct course equivalency, 2) major/department credit, or 3) elective credit. Credits not earned at Washtenaw will need to be taken at WSU.
- These pathways do not replace the importance of Washtenaw and Wayne State academic advising. The pathway provides a general roadmap to degree completion.
