The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers.  Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.

The BS in Engineering Technology - Manufacturing Engineering Technology Concentration is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:

  • Knowledge and hands-on experience in various manufacturing processes such as machining, plastic processing, and 3D printing.
  • Skills in product design and development and the product life cycle.
  • Skills in the plant layout for high efficiency production.
  • Skills in material testing and properties measurement following industrial standards. 
  • Automation and control of manufacturing equipment.
  • Demonstrate leadership, teamwork, and effective communication skills.
