Manufacturing is the process of transforming raw materials into finished goods having value in the marketplace. This transformation requires people, equipment, tools, and energy; and it creates wealth in our society. A manufacturing enterprise must acquire customers, design products, develop fabrication processes, assemble the products, and then support them in the field. Therefore the curriculum for this concentration is a 14-course program incorporating such state-of-the-art technologies as lean production, agile and virtual manufacturing, rapid prototyping, automation, robotics, and other technologies. A student completing this concentration is awarded a Certificate in Manufacturing in addition to the M.S.I.E. The 42-hour certificate program in manufacturing is shown in the table below.
