Choosing a Great Mechanical Engineering Technology School for Your Associate Degree

Best Mechanical Engineering Technology Associate Degree Schools in Oklahoma Your choice of mechanical engineering technology for getting your associate degree school matters. Important measures of a quality ME tech program can vary widely even among the top schools. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.

A Great Overall School

The overall quality of a associate degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Early-Career Earnings

Average early-career salary of those graduating with their associate degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. That is, everyone wants their associate degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

  • Major Focus - How much a school focuses on mechanical engineering technology students vs. other majors.
  • Major Demand - How many other mechanical engineering technology students want to attend this school to pursue a associate degree.
  • Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
  • Student Debt - How much debt mechanical engineering technology students go into to obtain their associate degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
  • Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized mechanical engineering technology related body.

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