These experiences are uniquein a number of ways. Foremost, this program was created by transitioning an existingManufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) program that included an option in CAD/CAM.As a result, the new program was designed to incorporate the strengths of this long establishedtechnology program. One of these is hands-on intensive lab experiences within courses thatrequire students to
