Doctor of Engineering in Manufacturing

Option 1: Students admitted directly to the DEng in Manufacturing without a relevant master’s degree must complete the Master of Engineering in Manufacturing (MEng in Manufacturing) requirements through an “Embedded Master of Engineering in Manufacturing” along the way of his/her DEng in Manufacturing. Fulfill the Master of Engineering in Manufacturing (MEng in Manufacturing) 30 credits requirement among which up to 18 of the MEng in Manufacturing letter-graded A-E credits will be approved to also count toward the DEng in Manufacturing 18 letter-graded A-E credit requirement. (If fewer than 18 U-M letter-graded A-E credits from the MEng in Manufacturing are approved to count toward the DEng in Manufacturing, the student will need to take additional credits to meet the DEng in Manufacturing 18 letter-graded credit requirement.) At least 6 credits of the DEng in Manufacturing 18 letter-graded A-E credits must be registered under “Graduate Engineering” enrollment rather than under “Rackham Enrollment” or others. Students who have completed the MEng in Manufacturing 30-credit requirements while meeting the DEng in Manufacturing requirements have the option to receive the MEng in Manufacturing degree. A student meeting the MEng in Manufacturing requirements along the way of completing the DEng in Manufacturing has the option to request to discontinue from the DEng in Manufacturing and only complete the MEng in Manufacturing 30 credits to receive the MEng in Manufacturing degree. Please note the transfer of credit requirements for the MEng in Manufacturing and DEng in Manufacturing differs. For any questions, meet with your Graduate Coordinator.

The student will fulfill 18 UM letter-graded credits (A-E) requirements and 6 additional U-M credits toward the DEng in Manufacturing. Option 3: Students admitted to the DEng in Manufacturing with a relevant or same field master’s degree from the University of Michigan (i.e., U-M change of program students) The student will fulfill the DEng in Manufacturing 18 letter-graded credits (A-E) requirement At least 6 credits of the DEng in Manufacturing 18 letter-graded A-E credits must be registered under “Graduate Engineering” enrollment (not “Rackham” Enrollment or other.).

The DEng in Manufacturing adviser and Program Director will analyze and decide which of the letter-graded credits (A-E) from the student’s relevant master’s may be counted toward the DEng in Manufacturing 18 letter-graded credits (A-E) requirement.
