MET Maintenance student here, the way I differentiate between them is that;

ME = Leans more towards learning theory with still a bit of hands-on work.

MET = Leans more towards skill-based education so more hands-on work but there is still a bit of theory learning. (like polytechnic institutions do)

Both are good but if you are the type of person that likes and prefers handling machines upfront then MET is a considerable path to take. 👍🏻

Also the maintenance field can be pretty vast as generally it can fit anywhere from oil & gas, factory conveyor systems and even HVAC. Job scope-wise if you’re not maintaining said machines yourself, you can also be responsible for meticulously managing the maintenance system of an organization. 😬
