Mechanical Engineering Technology Track
Overview
The Mechanical Engineering Technology specialization builds upon ABET- accredited mechanical bachelor’s degrees and related fields, providing students with highly developed expertise in the design and analysis of mechanical systems. This specialization provides an integrated multi-disciplinary program designed to prepare individuals with practical and theoretical skills in technology that focus on applied mechanical engineering. This relationship facilitates the translation of research findings to meet current industry needs. With state-of-the-art teaching and research laboratories, the MET specialization offers courses and cutting-edge research experiences in several applied areas including instrumentation and measurement, biomedical systems, advanced materials design, manufacturing, systems integration, oil and gas applications, and energy.
The following is a list of courses required of all students pursuing the Master of Science in MET. For a complete description of these courses, visit the University of Houston Graduate Catalog.
