what is Mechanical Engineering technology?

Question

can you give me some example of what kind of jobs it would include

Answer 1

Mechanical Engineering as a field involves all mechanical systems -- pumps and compressors, plumbing and piping, motors and engines, fans and air conditioning, anything that moves or exerts forces or performs work. However, if you were to pursue a mechanical engineering degree, you would be involved in the design side of things -- worrying about temperatures, pressures, tensile stress, corrosion and wear, etc. from the viewpoint of the drafting table. ME technology, on the other hand, deals with the... uh, nuts and bolts? It's a more direct study of how things work, on maintenance and troubleshooting. Rather than being called a mechanical engineer, you would be a mechanical technician, someone who actually touches equipment on a daily basis rather than just #2 pencils and gum erasers. Machinery techs come in all shapes and sizes, depending on the areas you'd like to specialize in: there are air conditioning and HVAC techs, mechanical techs who work on compressors and vacuum pumps, or those who install and repair plumbing and hydraulic systems for large structures (as opposed to your average residential plumbing guy). There are also machine tool operators who operate lathes and mills to fabricate parts.

Answer 2

Being simple,

It is same as Mechanical Engineering, however the Technology person does more handson stuff then design stuff

if you have to make a hierachi
from top to bottom

-Mechanical Engineer
-Mechanical Engineer Technology
-Techcian

Answer 3

Mechanical engineering technology is the application of physical principles and current technological developments to the creation of useful reality for machine and operation design. Such solid models may be used as the basis for finite element analysis (FEA) and / or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the design. Through the application of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), the models may also be used directly by software to create "instructions" for the manufacture of objects represented by the models, through computer numerically-controlled (CNC) machining or other automated processes, without the need for intermediate drawings.

Fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering technology include: dynamics, statics, strength of materials, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, applied thermodynamics, Machine Design, Material Sciences, Manufacturing Processes, and Engineering Drafting and Standard familiarization classes, as well as Circuit and electrical analysis classes. Mechanical engineering Technologists are also expected to understand and be able to apply concepts from the chemistry and electrical engineering fields. MEchanical engineering technologists are expected to apply current technologies and principals to machine and product design, production, and manufacturing processes.

Related disciplines include; mechanical engineering, electrical engineering technology, industrial engineering, systems engineering, civil engineering, nuclear engineering, aerospace engineering, and other engineering disciplines.
