Master of Engineering in Manufacturing
Degree Objectives
BECOME AN INNOVATOR IN TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
Manufacturing is a bedrock of a strong economy, supporting a solid employment base in the manufacturing industry as well as in multiple related service industries. Now, more than ever, there is a critical need for leaders and engineers who are innovators in technology and have the broad knowledge and skills on how to streamline manufacturing processes and make the managerial decisions.
Students in this program acquire the advanced engineering and management skills to become a dynamic leader in manufacturing. Students learn how to improve the quality and efficiency of manufacturing systems through advanced technologies and skills in their engineering discipline, acquiring breadth across disciplines, leading project teams, and understanding the complete product development and manufacturing process, including its management.
Four concentrations are offered:
- Production systems and quality engineering
- Manufacturing design and sustainability
- Advanced materials design and manufacturing (nano/digital/additive)
- Safety, health and ecology
Overview
The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Manufacturing is a graduate professional degree that includes selecting from over 80 courses offered through various departments in the College of Engineering and the Stephen M. Ross School of Business (70% engineering and 30% business). It can be earned in one calendar year, including a four-month team project in industry. This program is available on campus and online. The program is for students who have already earned a BSE degree in any field of engineering (e.g., aerospace, mechanical, electrical, civil, industrial, naval, chemical, materials science), and who have relevant industrial experience.
Summary of M. Eng. in Mfg. Curriculum Distribution
The incoming student must obtain the approval of the course advisor for the planned M. Eng. in Mfg. degree courses selected. A course advisor will be assigned to the student upon admission.
