The master of science degree program in manufacturing engineering is built on a core designed to provide a firm foundation in the various elements of manufacturing and systems engineering. Building on this preparation, the student constructs a specialization in one of the following three areas:
- Computer Integrated Manufacturing
- Integrated Product Engineering
- Quality Engineering.
Prospective students should contact the Program Coordinator, Dr. Ratna Babu Chinnam, for further information.
Program Objectives
Graduates will be able to:
- Understand and integrate the Design, Test & Build product life cycle
- Model, analyze and control design and production activities
- Understand the impact of Quality, Cost and Timeliness metrics on manufacturing performance
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of manufacturing processes and technologies
- Perform data analysis and optimization for decision making
- Develop business cases for justifying process, organizational and technological projects
- Support for systems engineering and project management
- Communicate effectively (written, verbal and presentation) across all levels in the enterprise
- Develop an ability to grow through life long acquisition of knowledge
Admission Requirements
Admission to this program is contingent upon admission to the Graduate School. These are the additional requirements:
- Baccalaureate degree in engineering from an institution accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)
- Honor point average of 2.8 in the upper division of their undergraduate program
- GRE Exam for international students
- The Quality Management Specialization has an additional requirement of 3-years of full-time work experience.
In addition, students who have an undergraduate degree in mathematics, physics, computer science, or other discipline with a strong analytical base may be considered for admission. Applicants whose undergraduate education is deficient in prerequisites for graduate classes may be required to take background courses that will NOT count toward the thirty-two-credit degree requirement.
Probability and Statistics Placement Test
The test is administered for new students prior to the first week of every semester. Students who fail the placement exam will be given a not-for-credit refresher course in probability and statistics. There is no fee for this course. Students are required to obtain the equivalent of B in this class to satisfy the placement exam requirement. >>Additional exam information
