The Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering is designed to provide advanced competencies in the areas of 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.

Admission Requirements

A candidate for admission must possess a baccalaureate degree from a recognized program in engineering, physics, mathematics, or other field related to engineering. A candidate for admission must also:

Possess a grade point average of 3.0 or better during the last two years of undergraduate work.
Submit GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores from the General Test.
Have completed undergraduate courses in computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, properties of materials, metrology, quality control, and manufacturing processes or equivalent experience. Students who lack this background should consult with an advisor as specialized programs (usually involving additional credit hours over basic requirements) can be provided.
