The ME program is more theoretical and requires more advanced mathematicswhere the MET program is more hands-on with mathematics requirements up to Calculus II.However, the programs are taught side-by-side and complement each other. When we developedthe ME program we wanted to maintain as much of the strong hands-on aspect of MET
