Manufacturing engineering draws upon two distinct bodies of knowledge: manufacturing processes (i.e., how materials are altered in either shape or properties) and the processes of manufacturing (i.e., manufacturing systems and management). This combination of topics is embedded in the Master of Science - Manufacturing Engineering program, and students can follow their interests by developing deeper expertise in either manufacturing processes or the processes of manufacturing.
The program provides advanced technical content to help students prepare for career transitions and improve company competitiveness. It consists of a core set of courses designed to provide all students with advanced knowledge of manufacturing fundamentals and an introduction to systems engineering. The expertise developed in the core curriculum supports student focus areas building on existing unit faculty strengths, including automation, additive and subtractive manufacturing processes including computer numerical control machining, modeling and simulation, electronics manufacturing and manufacturing management.
Thesis, applied project and portfolio options are offered for the culminating experience.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the Master of Science program in manufacturing engineering find opportunities in both large and small corporations and government agencies as well as within startup enterprises where they play a critical role.
Typical job responsibilities include manufacturing process design, manufacturing process management and quality control and assurance, and graduates with advanced degrees have opportunities to participate in and lead research teams that are developing the next generation of advanced manufacturing technologies.
