Mechanical Engineering & Technology

About Us

The Department of Mechanical Engineering & Technology is committed to providing a quality, hands-on education. In each of our programs, you’ll spend time in both labs and the classroom. Our classes are taught by faculty members with industry experience in research and production. Our faculty work with you to help you develop real-life problem-solving skills. We understand engineering as a collaborative process, so our instructors have designed the classroom experience to reinforce the importance of collaboration in addition to individual achievement.

If you are a transfer student for Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Technology, please contact Dr. Jason Durfee (jdurfee@ewu.edu) so he can assist you in transferring credits and setting up your academic plan.
