Faculty adviser:
Professor Anil Saigal, Mechanical engineering
As the United States continues to compete in global markets, the need for manufacturing engineers who can design, build, operate, and manage competitive production systems has never been greater. Excellence in design and production--especially knowledge of CAD, CAM, CNC machining, and robotics--is essential as industries strive to reduce labor costs, increase productivity and profitability, tighten performance standards, and improve quality.
In collaboration with the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies, the Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a four-course graduate-level certificate in manufacturing engineering. The program is offered on a part-time, nondegree basis for students seeking professional training in manufacturing engineering. In most cases, courses taken as a certificate student can be transferred to a degree program. Graduate students may also pursue the certificate as a concentration within their degree. The program is open to students with a bachelor's degree and a background in engineering, science, or mathematics.
