Our primary goal is to produce Engineering Technology graduates who are technologically equipped and highly motivated to successfully compete in the modern workplace. Our program focuses on the applications of computers to solve both complex and common manufacturing problems. Qualified Engineering Technologists are in high demand by manufacturers, and positions offer great monetary compensation. MET graduates from Tarleton State University who choose to stay in the Cross Timbers area will be in a favorable geographical location to take advantage of this explosive growth in the Technical Manufacturing and Engineering industries.<\/p><p>Our courses are supplemented with a foundation of Industrial Technology and emphases in mathematics, statistics, and science. A wide range of electives compliment the degree, allowing students maximum flexibility in the following areas:<\/p><ul>\r\n \t<li>Business<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Science<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Mathematics<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Computer Information Systems<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Pre-Engineering<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><p>To prepare for a career in the Manufacturing industry, students will work on numerous real-world manufacturing projects, often in a team setting. A Capstone course will bring together all the concepts learned by applying them to solutions of actual manufacturing problems. Numerous oral and written presentations will aid students in becoming more comfortable and proficient in their communication skills.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n                \n                \n                                    <section class=\"degree-section degree-meta-courses\" aria-labelledby=\"degree-courses-title\">\n                        <h2 class=\"degree-content-title\" id=\"degree-courses-title\">Courses<\/h2>\n\n                        \n                                                    <div class=\"apply-now-button-wrap\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.tarleton.edu\/courses\/\" class=\"button apply-button\">\n                                    Visit the University Catalog\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/section>\n                \n                                    <section class=\"degree-section degree-meta-additional-details\" aria-labelledby=\"degree-more-about-title\">\n                        <h2 class=\"degree-content-title\" id=\"degree-more-about-title\">More About the Program<\/h2>\n                        <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><ul>\r\n \t<li>Society of Plastics Engineers<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4spe.org\/i4a\/pages\/index.cfm?pageID=3280\">Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) <\/a>serves Plastics Industry professionals worldwide.

Our primary goal is to produce Engineering Technology graduates who are technologically equipped and highly motivated to successfully compete in the modern workplace. Our program focuses on the applications of computers to solve both complex and common manufacturing problems. Qualified Engineering Technologists are in high demand by manufacturers, and positions offer great monetary compensation. MET graduates from Tarleton State University who choose to stay in the Cross Timbers area will be in a favorable geographical location to take advantage of this explosive growth in the Technical Manufacturing and Engineering industries.<\/p>\n<p>Our courses are supplemented with a foundation of Industrial Technology and emphases in mathematics, statistics, and science. A wide range of electives compliment the degree, allowing students maximum flexibility in the following areas:<\/p>\n<p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Business<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Science<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Mathematics<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Computer Information Systems<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Pre-Engineering<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><\/p>\n<p>To prepare for a career in the Manufacturing industry, students will work on numerous real-world manufacturing projects, often in a team setting. A Capstone course will bring together all the concepts learned by applying them to solutions of actual manufacturing problems. Numerous oral and written presentations will aid students in becoming more comfortable and proficient in their communication skills.<\/p>","_degree_level":"Bachelor's","degree_meta_synchronized":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-undergrad"],"degree_modalities":["On-Campus"],"degree_campuses":["Stephenville"],"acf":[],"author_meta":{"display_name":"keegan","author_link":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/author\/keegan-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2\/"},"featured_img":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/equipment-demQEM-300x200.gif","coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/category\/undergrad\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Undergraduate<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Undergraduate<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":"0","relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 7 months ago","modified":"Updated 3 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on January 21, 2026","modified":"Updated on May 12, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on January 21, 2026 7:27 pm","modified":"Updated on May 12, 2026 7:27 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"Man operating a CNC machine in a workshop.","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2281"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10325,"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2281\/revisions\/10325"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
