The Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering is designed to provide advanced competencies in the areas of contemporary computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided design and analysis, and integrated processing of polymers, metals, and composite materials. This program is designed for decision-makers in manufacturing engineering, engineering graphics and design, process engineering, quality assurance, and tooling design.
The Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering requires 30 credit hours with a minimum “B” average and no grade below “C”. The program includes 12 hours of core classes and 18 hours of electives. The specific career path objectives of the individual may be met by focusing the electives. The master’s degree candidate shall work with their academic advisor to tailor all elective course work. Students may conduct a thesis as part of those electives.
To meet needs of part-time graduate students, evening courses are offered. In addition, the program allows sufficient time to complete the degree. Showing annual progress, a minimum of three courses taken per year will allow completion of the degree under four years.
Admission Requirements
A candidate for admission to the Master of Science program in Manufacturing Engineering must:
- Possess a baccalaureate degree with a major in a technical field such as engineering or technology.
- Show evidence of competency in computer programming, mathematics through the calculus level, statistics, one semester of physics, and one semester of chemistry with laboratories.
- Possess a grade point average of 3.0/4.0 or better.
- Have completed undergraduate courses or have equivalent work experience in CAD, properties of materials, manufacturing processes, statics, and strength of materials. If a candidate’s background is deficient, foundation courses will be required.
