Manufacturing Engineering, Bachelor of Science with a Concentration in Advanced Manufacturing (B.S.)
MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING
The Bachelor of Science degree in Manufacturing Engineering (MFE) is designed to prepare graduates to become practicing manufacturing engineers with the skills to design, analyze, and modify the processes and systems used to make products in the most time-efficient, cost-effective way possible while maintaining safety and product quality in environmentally friendly ways. Students will gain expertise and practical knowledge in major areas of manufacturing: materials and processes, design for manufacturability, lean manufacturing, quality and process control, safety, automation and robotics. Graduates will be able to employ a strong base of fundamental engineering and management skills to effectively integrate people, technology, machines and capital to positively impact a manufacturing process from design to production to finished product.
