Manufacturing Engineering Minor
A minor in Manufacturing Engineering gives students from a variety of majors the opportunity to strengthen their academic preparation and attractiveness to industry, while better preparing them to solve many of the problems that will challenge them in their careers. Most engineers are involved directly or indirectly with manufacturing or manufacturing principles. Manufacturing expertise is essential to all industrialized, developing and even postindustrialized societies. The objective of the minor in manufacturing will be to give the students a solid understanding of the principles of production, processing, manufacturability, and quality that can be applied to a wide variety of products, including non-traditional products, such as software, service and information.
The minor requires the completion of 2 units of work as follows.
I. 1 unit of required course work selected from the following list:
ME 1800 Material Selection and Manufacturing Processes
ME 2820 Materials Processing
ME 3820 Computer-Aided Manufacturing
