Overview
Welcome to SCC’s Manufacturing Engineering Technology program. We train students to become members of an engineering team. They provide technical assistance throughout the design and manufacturing process. The program includes extensive practice in traditional and computer-aided drafting, layout and design of fabricated products, the study of materials used in manufacturing, plant layout, materials handling, manufacturing processes, and the use of machines. Further study takes students into quality control, time and motion efficiency, tool and product design, and mold design. The Student Chapter of the Society for Manufacturing Engineers S218 provides a chance to learn more about industry and to interact and mentor with other engineers. The program is fully accredited by the state of Nebraska and by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
