Manufacturing Operations
Students selecting the manufacturing operations emphasis are most often involved in the design and day-to-day running of a manufacturing facility. Students come from a wide variety of undergraduate educational backgrounds, including engineering technology, engineering management, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering.
Students selecting manufacturing operations are expected to have knowledge of the following topics:
- Structured programming in C
- Statistical confidence intervals for the mean
- Differential and integral calculus
Students who need additional background in structured programming may take CS 500 for 3 credits.
Students must complete the following 4 courses for 12 credits:
