As technology evolves, so do manufacturing processes. Our Minor in Manufacturing equips mechanical engineering students with knowledge, skills and perspectives that will enhance their career prospects and prepare them to contribute effectively in today's dynamic industrial landscape.
Minor Overview
In this program, engineering students will learn to design for manufacturing, manufacturing processes and robotics systems, all while fostering innovative thinking to solve manufacturing problems and improve current processes.
Courses will prepare students to apply appropriate theories and methods to analyze and design manufacturing technologies and systems despite economic constraints or sustainability and environmental concerns. Students will also learn to communicate effectively about problem solutions, technologies and system designs.
Students pursuing this minor may tailor their learning experience by selecting one of three distinctive tracks, each offering specialized expertise and insights:
-
Mechatronics and Robotics
-
Production and Process Improvement
-
Six Sigma
