MEng in Manufacturing Engineering

Did you miss the Master of Engineering Open House held on Monday, April 2nd?

You can view a video recording of the event, including the power point presentation. Please contact Kirstie Miller with any questions about the program.

 

The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Manufacturing Engineering is a professional master’s program aimed at:

  • graduating senior students who want a quick one-year masters in manufacturing engineering before they look for jobs in industry
  • mid-career professionals who want to switch careers and would like to complete a one-year masters degree between jobs
  • industry professionals who want exposure to manufacturing engineering and engineering management to further their careers, by gaining exposure to management issues in the global marketplace in addition to a strong training in classical advanced engineering courses

Why Get an MEng?

  • Unlike an MS, you have no thesis (there is a project component instead)
  • Prepares you for a career in industry (MS degrees are more research-focused)
  • Gives you an advantage as the number of engineering manager jobs is predicted to grow in the coming years
  • Can be completed in one year
  • According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, those with a master’s degree can earn an average of $400,000 more over their careers than those with just a bachelor’s degree.

Curriculum

Master of Engineering students are required to complete a minimum of 32 credit hours applicable to the degree according to the program planning sheet. No master’s thesis is required. All 32 credits must be at the 500 level or above.

Structured Course Requirements for MEng in Manufacturing Engineering

The 32 credits must be selected as follows:

  • 3 courses (12 credits) must be Manufacturing Engineering Core Courses
  • 2 courses (8 credits) must be Engineering Management Courses
  • 3 courses (12 credits) may be Engineering/Science electives (any 500/700 level engineering or physical science course, with no more than one course from the approved list of Engineering Management Courses)
