Manufacturing Engineering

Manufacturing engineers are concerned with the design and operation of integrated systems for the production of high-quality, economically competitive products. These systems may include computer networks, robots, machine tools, and materials-handling equipment. For example, as a manufacturing engineer, you might be hired to:

  • Automate a chemical manufacturing facility through computer integrated technology
  • Design circuit board manufacturing processes to reduce costs and improve product quality
  • Develop the best assignment of machines and equipment to various manufacturing cells in discrete parts manufacturing
  • Develop and implement fabrication processes for nano-/micro-devices
  • Identify the most cost-effective material handling and facility layout alternative for an aerospace manufacturing company
  • Design and implement a management information system for a government organization

The strength of our program is reflected by our graduates' strong academic skills coupled with practical experience. Many of our students participate in two six-month structured internships that are offered as an integral part of the educational process.

Our graduates enjoy an excellent reputation among potential employers and industry as a whole, and the pre-graduation employment placement rate has remained above 95 percent for several years.
