MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY DEGREES

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

College students majoring in mechanical engineering technology are rather rare. On average, each area of study awards roughly 6,200 bachelor's degrees a year; 2,036 people earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering technology last spring, making it the United States' 149th most popular subject for undergrads. Purdue University-Main Campus​ granted more of those degrees than any other U.S. college (189). Institutions in New York gave out more degrees than any American State (411).

It often isn't easy to decide the right school, as 65 schools countrywide award a college degree in mechanical engineering technology. 66.1% fewer schools offer four-year degrees in mechanical engineering technology than the average focus, making it the 230th most widely offered degree in the USA.

GRADUATE DEGREES

While just under 100% of degrees in mechanical engineering technology last May were bachelor's degrees; 1% were postgrad degrees. Mechanical engineering technology is the 368th most popular advanced degree in America, with 19 degrees conferred. For context, the average subject is 146 times more popular among postgrad students than mechanical engineering technology.

In Total, 2,055 students received a bachelor's or higher in mechanical engineering technology last May.

ONLINE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY DEGREES

4 of those 2,055 students (0.2%) did their school work remotely, but not one was conferred a postgrad degree. As you've presumably gathered by now, college students majoring in mechanical engineering technology online are hard to come by. It is at the moment the 240th most in-demand online degree, and 99.2% shy of the national average of 481 students per subject.

ECPI University​ conferred 3 online undergraduate degrees, more than any other college in the US.

3 schools in the US have bachelor's degrees remote, making it the 230th most widely offered online degree in the United States of America. Only one out of twenty schools conferring the degree even have an entirely remote option, and there are 4 public colleges handing out four-year degrees in mechanical engineering technology for each and every private institution.

If you hope to study mechanical engineering technology online, you should consider ECPI University, as it has the 48th best mechanical engineering technology program in the country. They also offer an additional 18 degrees fully online, so their systems are probably dialed. Further, 2,890 online college students go to the institution, which is 22% of the student body.
