MS in Manufacturing Systems Engineering (MMSE) Program

Program Overview:

 
A MS in Manufacturing Systems Engineering which prepares our graduates for engineering leadership positions.

Program Educational Objectives:

Graduates of the MMSE program are expected to achieve one or more of the following:

1. Use knowledge of people and manufacturing principles to create, develop, and implement systems for the manufacture of products that meet articulated and unarticulated needs of society and improve the quality of all of their lives in a sustainable way.
2. Increase personal knowledge and skill through graduate or professional study, appropriate certifications, and work assignments.
3. Contribute time, knowledge, and skills to the profession, community, and the world.
4. Serve as a team member or team leader, demonstrating ethical behavior, social sensitivity, and professional responsibility.
