While studying Manufacturing Engineering, you're learning to design optimal industrial environments to produce high-value products for domestic and global markets. You’ll develop important skills to create and integrate new materials and technologies to transform how finished products are made across a spectrum of industries.
These skills may include:
- Planning and design of factory layouts and facilities and the development of digital models for processes
- Selection, planning and management of materials, equipment and machinery, including robots, 3D printers, and computer-controlled machines
- Creation and evaluation of production system activities and sequencing across a range of manufacturing processes, from the production of fuel cells to advanced composite airplanes
- Conducting time series analyses and motion studies to determine production schedules and output rates
- Establishment of key performance indicators to measure the productivity of the assembly process
- Development of maintenance standards and schedules, and carrying out regular plant facility assessments
- Technical report writing and presentation skills, and the ability to provide strong rationale for design solutions
