AREAS OF STUDY

CMU's engineering and technology program offers a variety of majors and minors to prepare you for a career or graduate study.

• Electrical Engineering. Electrical Engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of a variety of electrical and electronic equipment and machines, including DVD systems, computers, automobiles, global positioning systems, broadcast and communication systems, and more.
• Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineers research, develop, design, manufacture, and test mechanical devices such as generators, propulsion systems, refrigerators, industrial production equipment, elevators, robots, and more.
• Industrial Education. Industrial educators teach secondary or special education students how technical things work. You will learn how to provide students with hands-on experiences involving tools, design methods, computers and so on.
• Industrial Safety. Industrial safety personnel work to ensure the safest possible workplace. They strive to improve working conditions, prevent danger and incorporate safety features into new products and processes.
• Industrial Technology Management or minor. Industrial technologists work with scientists, engineers and technicians to help understand technical devices and systems. Industrial technologists design new products and services, assist people in using them and supervise the development of technical products and services. Concentrations are available in: automotive, design and engineering graphics, manufacturing / production, graphics, and construction.
• Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Manufacturing engineering technologists develop ways to make products at a reasonable cost that can be sold at a fair price and still make a profit.
• Mechanical Engineering Technology. Mechanical engineering technologists develop new and better design and production methods and, therefore, better products. They work in a variety of industries developing products such as spacecraft, air conditioning systems, automobiles and washers and dryers.
• Computer-Integrated Manufacturing. Professionals in this area research and develop systems for computers and automated equipment used in manufacturing.
• Computer Technology. Computer technologists design, construct, operate, and repair computer systems and equipment.
