Trinity Valley Community College’s Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum prepares students for a variety of opportunities spanning almost every industry. Students will learn the “hands on” skills required to be successful in today’s fast-paced computerized manufacturing sector. These highly sought after skills include general machining, CAD (computer-aided design) and CNC (computer numerical control). Exposure to this program makes lucrative part-time job opportunities available to students during high school and those who graduate are able to step straight in to good jobs.

According to the most recent U. S. Department of Labor's  Occupational Outlook Handbook, careers in mechanical engineering technology are expected to grow 9% from 2016 to 2026, as fast as the average for all occupations.
