Pathway to Manufacturing Engineering, BS
Explore this degree, risk free for only $25 to start
Degree description
Successful manufacturing enterprises balance design, sustainability and quality with production to prosper in the global marketplace. Manufacturing engineering combines manufacturing processes (e.g., how materials are altered in either shape or properties) and the processes of manufacturing (e.g., design and management of manufacturing systems).
The Bachelor of Science program in manufacturing engineering prepares students to analyze, synthesize and control manufacturing operations using statistical methods; collaborate across disciplines to design and build solutions to real-world problems; design innovative products and the equipment, tooling and environments necessary for their manufacture; model, simulate and analyze manufacturing production processes for both small- and large-scale environments; and provide technological leadership.
The curriculum is project-based, hands-on, teamwork-oriented and delivered in outstanding fabrication facilities. Graduates of this program become key team members who create and implement processes for making such varied products as airplanes, surgical instrument, toys and foodstuffs.
