Manufacturing Engineering Technology
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology curriculum in the Department of Engineering Technology prepares graduates with technical knowledge and leadership skills necessary to enter technical and managerial careers in manufacturing. Graduates will be able to apply a wide spectrum of technological and managerial tools and methods to tackle manufacturing-related problems in production of industrial and consumer goods. A four-year curriculum at Texas state University-San Marcos includes courses in product design, materials, processes, tooling, manufacturing systems, quality assurance, automation and integration, and operations management. This curriculum is implemented by adopting the hands-on, experiential learning method. The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is designed to provide students with a firm technical foundation in conventional manufacturing technologies and, at the same time, prepare them to face the challenges of today’s globalized, environmentally conscious, and interdisciplinary business environments. Positions such as manufacturing engineering technologist, plant manager, manufacturing process engineering technologist, line supervisor, research and development technologist, technical sales, production technologist, and quality assurance technologist exemplify possible career opportunities for the graduates

General Requirements:
1. A minimum of 9 writing intensive hours and a total of 36 advanced hours are required to graduate. An advanced course is one that is numbered above 3000 and below 5000.
2. Departmental requirements that also satisfy the general education core curriculum requirements for the following components: mathematics- MATH 2471; natural science- CHEM 1341/1141 and CHEM 1342/1142; and social science- ECO 2301. See the University College section of this catalog for the English literature requirements.
3. If two years of the same language are taken in high school, then no additional language hours will be required for the degree. In the absence of such high school language, two semesters of the same modern language must be taken at the college level
4. Six hours of Manufacturing Engineering Technology electives – 3 hours from: TECH 1330 (fall, spring), TECH 4367 (spring), TECH 4392 (spring); and 3 hours from: TECH 4357 (spring), TECH 4374 (fall), TECH 4380 (fall, spring, summer I).
