Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering

The manufacturing engineering major gives you the knowledge and skills to design and optimize materials, manufacturing, production and supply chain systems. Manufacturing engineering is the only engineering discipline that deals with the entire production process from product design, materials selection, lean manufacturing and supply chain integration, to ensure the optimized system is time-efficient and cost-effective while it produces superior quality products or services.

As a successful manufacturing engineering major, you integrate the knowledge and skills of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering. With this background, you will know how to design and make products well, and more importantly, will be capable of making things efficiently and cost effectively. Many of the manufacturing engineering courses are centered on hands-on skill development in our renovated manufacturing labs. Furthermore, you can tailor the degree to your career interests by choosing a concentration in lean manufacturing or process engineering.

By the time you graduate, your experiences may include:

Networking and professional development through student organizations such as the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and the American Society for Metals
Research projects, study abroad programs, co-op programs, internships and a semester-long senior design project.
Designing tooling, fixtures or machines
Systematic selection of engineering materials for making more cost-effective products
Six sigma approach to optimizing manufacturing processes
Troubleshooting quality or process issues within manufacturing processes
Cost and budgetary responsibilities in lean manufacturing system design
