Like many non-traditional college students Colin Prince is learning while he is earning a paycheck. He is currently working towards a drafting certification–part of the Mechanical Engineering Technology program–and he already holds and associate in arts degree from Mitchell Community College. He also works at Associated Metalworks (located in Iredell County, North Carolina) as a draftsman.

Mechanical Engineering Technology Program
Prepare to work in mechanical and manufacturing engineering fields as a mechanical engineering technician or begin work on a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. On either path, you can become knowledgeable in engineering graphics, engineering fundamentals and materials and manufacturing processes. Become an expert in computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), coordinate measuring machines (CMM), computer numerical controls (CNC), machining, hydraulics, pneumatics, and AutoCAD® and SolidWorks® software.

This program has two tracks–the Technical Track and the University Transfer Track. The Technical Track is designed to give you the education and skills needed to get a job as a Mechanical Engineering technician/technologist in the local Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Drafting industry’s as well as many other similar job opportunities. The University Transfer Track is transferable to four-year schools in the UNC system that offer a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree. Graduates who complete their bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology should qualify for employment as a Mechanical/Manufacturing engineer and will have many other career paths to choose from. University graduates that finish Mitchell Community College’s program first will have an associate’s degree that will compliment the university degree. This makes you more desirable to employers!

These curriculums are designed to prepare students through the study and application of principles from mathematics, Natural sciences, and technology and applied processes based on these subjects.

Course work includes mathematics, Natural sciences, engineering sciences and technology. Graduates should qualify to obtain occupations such as technical service providers, materials and technologies testing services, process improvement technicians, engineering technicians, industrial and technology managers, or research technicians.

A course of study that prepares the students to use basic engineering principles and technical skills to design, develop, test, and troubleshoot projects involving mechanical systems. Includes instruction in principles of mechanics, applications to specific engineering systems, design testing procedures, prototype and operational testing and inspection procedures, manufacturing system-testing procedures, test equipment operation and maintenance, computer applications, critical thinking, planning and problem solving, and oral and written communications. Graduates of the curriculum will find employment opportunities in the manufacturing or service sectors of engineering technology. Engineering technicians may obtain professional certification by application to organizations such as ASQC, SME, and NICET. Students may be awarded a non-degree credential (i.e., certificate, diploma) after completing a specific portion of the Associate degree program.

Classes
The curriculum for a Mechanical Engineering includes Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), Industrial Safety, CNC Turning, CNC Milling, Hydraulics/Pneumatics, Statics/Strength of Materials, Automation, Motors and Controls and more. General coursework such as Intro to Communication, Public Speaking, and Critical Thinking is also included. Short-term continuing education training opportunities and credentialing is also available.

Careers
Program completers can obtain jobs such as Industrial Engineering Technician, Mechanical Engineering Technician, Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technician, draftsman, and more. Transfer options through UNCC add a range of potential jobs as an engineer.
