Program Description

The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering program is designed to prepare students to practice as engineers who are experts in the production process, from design through manufacturing. It is concerned with the application of basic scientific and engineering knowledge to the development, manufacture, and distribution of products of all types. Being a multidisciplinary program (mechanical, electronics, industrial, management, and material science), it covers areas as diverse as the design and operation of factories, the economic analysis of projects, computer simulation of manufacturing systems, the use of robots in manufacturing, the design of materials handling systems, and the design of systems for controlling production.

Graduates of this program have a good preparation for career options in numerous industries such as electronics, energy, food processing, and manufacturing. Possible positions in companies include design engineer, manufacturing engineer or manager, process engineer or manager, and more. Graduates are also well prepared for a successful graduate study.

​Program Educational Outcomes

Within three to five years after graduation, the graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering program shall have:

1. Undertaken, singly or in teams, projects that show ability to solve complex engineering problems

2. Had substantial involvement in projects that take into consideration safety, health, environmental concerns and the public welfare, partly through adherence to required codes and laws.

3. Demonstrated professional success via promotions and/or positions of increasing responsibility

4. Demonstrated life-long learning via progress toward completion of an advanced degree, professional development/continuing education courses, or industrial training courses

5. Exhibited professional behavior and attitude in manufacturing engineering practice

6. Initiated and implemented actions toward the improvement of engineering practice thru project development or research

Student Outcomes

At the end of the B.S. Manufacturing Engineering Program, students are expected to demonstrate the following outcomes:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors

3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences

4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
