Students in the Bachelor of Science in manufacturing engineering technology major will be introduced to the fundamentals and advanced concepts of engineering, materials and production processes used within industry. The program provides in-depth technical content of advanced manufacturing, with emphasis on automated manufacturing, robotics, and computer-aided drafting and design, often collectively referred to as computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). Laboratory courses require students to design, develop and construct projects independently as well as in small groups. Technologies commonly used by major corporations are emphasized throughout the curriculum. Juniors and seniors are encouraged to participate in a cooperative education or internship experience to further enhance their knowledge in technical areas within an industrial environment.
