Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology
When it comes to engineering technology, classroom discussion can only go so far in exposing students to the challenges posed by the real world. MTSU's Engineering Technology program excels at placing students in contact with industry professionals in a stimulating and encouraging environment in which to acquire and test the skills and knowledge they will need after college.
Established in 2004, the Experimental Vehicles Program (EVP) currently comprises four different undergraduate research projects. From moonbuggies and solar boats to SAE Formula One and SAE Mini Baja racing, teams take part in national and even global competitions while gaining valuable experience on how to work in a collaborative environment. Although these projects are geared towards students in the Engineering Technology Department, any MTSU student with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn is welcome to join in on the competitions.
The Robert E. and Georgianna West Russell Chair of Manufacturing Excellence is designed to promote quality interaction with local industry. Students are encouraged to benefit from the scheduled activities, seminars, and short courses sponsored by the Chair of Manufacturing Excellence. The chair is just one of the many ways by which the Engineering Technology department provides students with a career-oriented, hands-on education through nationally accredited programs.
