Choosing a Great Mechanical Engineering/Mechanical Technology School for Your Associate Degree

A Great Overall School

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well.

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to mechanical engineering/mechanical technology students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of mechanical engineering/mechanical technology students who choose to seek a associate degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized mechanical engineering/mechanical technology related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for mechanical engineering/mechanical technology students working on their associate degree.
