The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Technology (MIET) in the College of Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science serves the needs of students, industry, and government in northeast Indiana.

The department offers Associate of Science (A.S.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree programs in industrial engineering technology (IET) and mechanical engineering technology (MET). The programs in IET and MET (both A.S. and B.S.) are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology Inc. (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone, 410-347-7700. The department also offers a certificate in quality.

The primary focus of the department is the development of its students. It encourages students to acquire the knowledge and understanding that helps them contribute to society by leading meaningful and productive lives.

The major thrust of the department is to prepare graduates to understand basic concepts of knowledge, have studied one technical field in sufficient depth to appreciate its methodologies and fundamental unresolved questions, and have acquired a basis for lifelong learning. Attainment of the above is accomplished through the establishment of required courses in 1) a core of general education, 2) required technical courses in the major area, and 3) elective courses combining breadth of subject matter with specific study in depth. Laboratory experience is an essential part of both associate and bachelor degree programs.

Mission

The mission of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Technology is to offer quality mechanical and industrial undergraduate engineering technology programs that meet regional needs; to advance and share technical knowledge with students and industry, through teaching, service, and research; and to support the missions and goals of the college and university.
