Successful manufacturing enterprises prosper in the global marketplace through a balance of design, sustainability, quality and automated production. Manufacturing engineering combines manufacturing processes (e.g., how materials are altered in either shape or properties) and the processes of manufacturing (e.g., use of industrial robotics and design and management of factory manufacturing systems). In the Bachelor of Science program in manufacturing engineering, you learn to analyze, synthesize and control manufacturing operations and production systems using digital fabrication techniques, industrial robotics, and quality control methods; to collaborate across disciplines to design and build automated manufacturing systems for factory operation; to design innovative products and the equipment, tooling and environments necessary for their manufacture; to model, simulate and analyze manufacturing production processes for both small- and large-scale environments; and to provide technological leadership. The curriculum is project-based, hands-on and teamwork-oriented, and delivered in outstanding manufacturing facilities.
