Product Design Engineering Technology ABET Accreditation

Our Product Design Engineering Technology Program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Engineering Graphics/Design/Drafting Engineering Technology (Mechanical) and similarly named programs..

The requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Product Design Engineering Technology include 30-42 hours of general education requirements, 18-22 hours of basic science and mathematics requirements, and 69-72 hours of specialized studies, for a minimum total of 120 hours for the degree.

Program educational objectives

• The main goal of the BSET-Product Design Engineering Technology program at CMU is to provide a competitive curriculum and learning environment that prepare graduates who will be able to:
  
• Attain employment and practice successfully in a product design engineering technology related profession;
• Work in multi-disciplinary teams providing technical knowledge and effective communication as engineering technologists;
• Remain technically current through continuous learning and self-improvement;
• Understand and exhibit professional, ethical and social responsibility as they pursue their careers.

Student outcomes

• An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
• An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
• An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
