Successful manufacturing enterprises prosper in the global marketplace through a balance of design, sustainability, quality and production. Manufacturing engineering combines manufacturing processes (e.g., how materials are altered in either shape or properties) and the processes of manufacturing (e.g., design and management of manufacturing systems).The BS program in manufacturing engineering prepares students to analyze, synthesize and control manufacturing operations using statistical 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, teamwork-oriented and delivered in outstanding fabrication facilities. Graduates of this program become key team members who create and implement processes for making such varied products as airplanes, surgical instruments, toys and foodstuffs.Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET; https://www.abet.org.
