Bachelor Degree-Completion Program
The Mechanical Engineering Technology Program focuses on two integrated areas—design and management.
The design area addresses design of mechanical tools, machines, and products. The management area prepares you to manage the people, resources, and systems related to mechanical engineering and manufacturing. Throughout the program, emphasis is placed on the theory and application of computer-aided design (CAD).
Packaging Minor (optional)
It is possible to earn a minor in packaging within this degree by completing 18 hours of approved course work. This packaging minor is beneficial to anyone involved with design, manufacturing, or transportation. The minor is an excellent way to increase your employability and supplement skills and abilities. For details, see Packaging Minor.
The mechanical engineering technology bachelor degree-completion program typically includes 62-70 credit hours. Specific courses and credit required vary, depending on course work transferred.

You have the option of completing the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program on the Indiana State University campus - or via distance learning.
Distance Learning Option:
- Selected courses in the mechanical engineering technology major are offered via the Internet or television, accessible at selected receive sites. The remainder are offered on the ISU campus. For details on course delivery for a particular course, see Course Descriptions
- General education requirements can be fulfilled by a combination of course work earned through the University's Distance Learning Program, the Indiana College Network, and your local college or university.
- On-campus visits ARE required.
Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program are qualified for professional positions, including: designer, planner, project manager, manufacturing engineer, and sales or customer representative.
With experience, you can advance to supervisory positions such as plant manager, team leader, and head designer.
The Mechanical Engineering Technology Program is open to eligible in-state (Indiana) applicants. The program is designed for transfer students. Specific freshman and sophomore courses (listed below) must have been completed.
Mechanical Engineering Technology
To be admitted to the distance learning program in mechanical engineering technology, you must be admitted to the University as a degree-seeking student and satisfy the following:
- An associate of science (A.S.) in design technology or industrial technology from Ivy Tech Community College; or an A.S. in architectural drafting or industrial drafting from Vincennes University; or an A.S. in design technology, mechanical engineering technology, or a related major from a regionally accredited college or university
- Courses in the following areas:
- Advanced computer-aided drafting/design
- Analytical geometry
- Chemistry (not a technical chemistry course)
- College algebra
- English composition (6 hours)
- Industrial applications of computers or introduction to computer science
- Introduction to electronics
- Manufacturing processes
- Physics--two courses (not technical physics courses)
- Speech
The following are general guidelines. Upon admission, academic advisors review transcripts to determine which credit transfers and which courses will be included in your program of study.
- Credit earned from regionally accredited colleges or universities is transferable.
- Transfer credit is assigned only for courses in which you have earned a grade of C or higher.
- Generally, an equivalent number of credit hours are given.
- In some cases, credit may be transferable to the University, but may not be applied toward completion of the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program.
- Remedial, audited, or non-credit classes do not transfer.
- College Living, orientation, and study skills classes do not transfer.
- Up to 94 hours of total transfer credit will be accepted for transfer into a bachelor degree program; at least 30 credit hours must be completed through ISU to earn the bachelor degree.
