Program Overview

Program Description:

The M.S. degree in Manufacturing Engineering serves full-time engineers who pursue the degree part-time in order to advance their engineering expertise. The program is offered on-line; courses and lectures are provided via streaming video or pre-recording. A few classes are synchronous with all students online simultaneously. Most students complete the program in about three years as they are working full time while taking classes part time. Two to four years is the normal range of time to complete the program. In this program, students will learn to: Apply mathematical models to the analysis of practical engineering problems Apply lean six sigma principles to the design and operation of manufacturing processes and systems Analyze and apply relevant research to real world problems Create technically rigorous and accurately worded written reports Three in-depth areas of study are offered: Mechanical Design, Manufacturing Competitiveness, Engineering Materials and Processes Computer Requirements for Students Access to a dedicated computer by each student is necessary. In addition, a high-speed Internet connection is required for the streaming video. A few classes use specialized software such as Minitab, Arena, Solidworks or others. Software is not provided, students are required to obtain or have access to educational versions of the software used in the class.
