The Master of Engineering in Manufacturing prepares the graduate for leadership positions in manufacturing and related industries. Through the carefully coordinated curriculum, project orientation and a capstone group project in industry, the student develops a facility that fosters a wide range of careers—from new process technology and technology improvement to product development, manufacturing systems, and manufacturing logistics.
