Bachelor of Science in Engineering - Manufacturing Systems

Students working with the Professor in the lab.

Manufacturing Systems

Manufacturing Systems is a multidisciplinary engineering program that combines narrow, focused depth in several fields: industrial engineering and mechanical engineering with a little computer engineering. First, students complete a core set of engineering courses to provide a solid foundation in computer, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering principles. Then, Manufacturing Systems students complete a set of twelve upper-level concentration courses. Seven required concentration courses provide depth in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and math. Students customize their program’s depth with a selection of five concentration electives from a range of computer engineering, computer science, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering.

The plan of study shown below incorporates the seven required Manufacturing Systems courses into the BSE's general plan of study. The five courses labeled "CONCENTRATION ELECTIVE COURSE" refer to the selections from the "Select Two of the Following" and "Select Three of the Following" categories shown on the Engineering's Curriculum page.
