Degree Programs with Concentration in Manufacturing and Enterprise
Systems
Degree
Programs:
This program is designed
to offer the knowledge of the
operational complexity of enterprises, manufacturing and
business process improvement and optimization, and
integrated product, process, and system design. It prepares
students with advanced understanding of both theories and
applications of traditional manufacturing engineering and
systems fields including contemporary topics, such as lean
manufacturing and 6-Sigma, flexible manufacturing systems,
and automation. The
graduates of this program will have the ability to
critically evaluate the potential benefits of alternative
manufacturing strategies, to use simulated platforms to
facilitate and improve business processes, and to analyze
enterprise systems as systems of interacting units,
components, and subsystems. A thesis option is offered for
research-oriented students. A non-thesis option is available
for students who prefer a practice-oriented degree in
engineering.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers advanced
coursework integrated with research leading to the Doctor of
Philosophy degree in Mechanical Engineering. The program has
four areas of concentrations:
Students in the concentration of Design and Manufacturing Systems
will conduct in-depth research in the subject area. More
information about the degree requirements can be found
