Manufacturing Engineering, MS

Manufacturing engineering draws on 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 MS program in manufacturing engineering, 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 course offerings that build on existing unit faculty strengths, including smart automation; industrial robotics; additive and subtractive manufacturing processes; and data-driven modeling and simulation, microelectronics manufacturing and manufacturing management. Focus areas within this master's program include advanced manufacturing processes, factory operations management and smart manufacturing processes.
