Master of Engineering (M.E.) - Advanced Manufacturing Specialization

Advanced manufacturing plays a vital role in all aspects of our economy, from biotechnology to green energy, aerospace to automotive, pharmaceuticals to nanotechnology, and more. Innovations in technology are rapidly changing the way products are conceived, designed, fabricated, distributed, and supported. Pursuing an education in advanced manufacturing at CSU will expand your knowledge of automation and simulation, manufacturing applications, and processing of materials. World class faculty lead four hands-on academic programs and will guide you through the understanding of engineering disciplines such as additive manufacturing, polymer composites, metal and ceramic 3D printing, and robot mechanics and controls. In addition, courses related to materials selection, digital product design and development, biotechnology, and integrated supply chains are available. The Master of Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing Specialization is an on-campus or online degree program that provides students with the competencies, skills, and experience to advance in careers in the manufacturing industry. The curriculum includes courses in manufacturing processes and controls, factory systems and supply chains, business fundamentals and product development processes. The program is intended for professional students who have an undergraduate degree in engineering and are working in the manufacturing industry. This is a coursework-only degree program with no thesis requirement.

Completion of a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor’s degree from an institution that is recognized by a governmental national higher education authority (at the time the degree was earned). Transcripts of all collegiate work completed. In general, the minimum cumulative GPA for non-provisional admittance is a 3.000 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) to be admitted by the Graduate School. Departments may require a higher GPA. For admission of international applicants, the minimum grade for non-provisional admittance is a B grade equivalent. The grade equivalency is the recommended U.S. grade equivalent, not the GPA equivalent.
