Mechanical Engineering Technology - BS

We’ve built a new building designed just for you.

Why study mechanical engineering technology at Pitt-Bradford?

Because here, you’ll get hands-on experience in a new engineering and information technologies building. You’ll build and test your own prototypes. Design electronic components. Operate equipment in a machine shop. Test your design’s aerodynamics in a wind tunnel. Measure how your model holds up to impact. Work on industrial automation. And more. 

And unlike large engineering classes at other universities, your classes at Pitt-Bradford will be small. You’ll get the personal attention you deserve from professors who will work closely with you to help you succeed.
 

What will I learn?

You’ll learn welding. And calculus and chemistry. You’ll learn about engineering design, thermodynamics, sensors and automation. How to identify a challenge, propose a solution, work with a team and test an idea.
