Engineering

Whether you’re fabricating 55 million aluminum beverage cans every single day, casting enormous housings for wind turbines, or crafting carbon fiber bicycle frames, working in manufacturing can be fascinating. A hub of energy, the manufacturing field showcases what humans are capable of producing. By adding a manufacturing concentration to your mechanical engineering degree at �鶹��ý, you’ll obtain the specialized knowledge and hands-on experience needed to hit the ground running in this expanding field.

��

At �鶹��ý, you might:

Take specialized courses in manufacturing technology processes, including Quality Engineering, Industrial Controllers, and 3D Modeling.

Obtain hands-on, professional experience using the cutting edge equipment in our machine shop and our Makerspace, including laser engravers, waterjet cutter, and several types of 3D printers.

Engage in co-ops or internships at any of the dozens of leading manufacturing firms within a short drive of �鶹��ý, including Honda of America, GROB, Crown Equipment Corporation, Procter & Gamble, and more. Or, intern anywhere in the country at a manufacturing firm that matches your interests.

Participate in a manufacturing-related capstone project, working with a team of your peers to solve a manufacturing challenge for one of our industrial partners. Past teams have designed and built a hamburger patty-making machine for Kewpee, solved a quality assurance challenge for Whirlpool, and made machine improvements for high-speed paper�� cup stacking for Graphic Packaging International, just to name a few.��

Manufacturing Courses and Curriculum

As a mechanical engineering major, you can choose to add a manufacturing concentration to your degree.

Those who are drawn to mechanical engineering already have this innate desire to learn and to fix problems, and the manufacturing world is full of opportunities to use, grow and adapt those skills.
