Industry has a pressing need for academically qualified manufacturing engineers due to the fact that today’s products and the technology to manufacture them have become increasingly sophisticated. Examples of new manufacturing technologies being applied to increase productivity, improve quality, and reduce costs include computer-aided engineering/design/manufacturing, robotics and automation, lean and agile process management, six sigma statistical process control, and additive manufacturing. Creating appropriate engineering solutions to the current problems facing industry and society often involves complex social, political, environmental and economic issues. The department provides graduates with an in-depth education in mathematics, science, engineering, and design, with a focus on manufacturing processes, methods and materials, as well as requiring a broad education in computing, economics, and the liberal arts. The department is committed to excellence in undergraduate education: student learning, classroom effectiveness, assessment, engineering design, professional ethics, student advising and opportunities for leadership. Graduates typically work as manufacturing engineers in areas such as product and process design, quality control, computer-aided manufacturing, plant-facilities engineering, and operations management. After gaining industrial experience, graduates often move into organizational management positions. Graduates are also prepared to continue their education at the graduate level. Graduating seniors are encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering examination, which is the first of two examinations that lead to becoming a licensed professional engineer.
