The manufacturing minor is for mechanical engineering students who seek a career in manufacturing. Students will learn about design for manufacturing, manufacturing processes and robotics systems. This minor will prepare students to solve manufacturing problems and improve current manufacturing processes. Students will be able to apply appropriate theories and methods to analyze and design manufacturing technologies and systems within realistic constraints (e.g., economic, manufacturability, sustainability, environmental) and communicate effectively about manufacturing engineering problem solutions, technologies and system designs.
