Mechanical engineering technicians help mechanical engineers design, develop, test, and manufacture mechanical devices, including tools, engines and machines. They may make sketches and rough layouts, record and analyze data, make calculations and estimates and report their findings.

*Although not designed to transfer, this AAS program leads to an online Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree with participating universities. See an academic advisor for more information about the BAAS.
