B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology

The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is the only manufacturing bachelor’s degree program in the state of Arizona. The program is "practice-based" and incorporates extensive laboratory experiences and industry projects. Students gain a solid understanding of traditional manufacturing processes, advanced processes (including computer-numerical-controlled machining), non-traditional processes and fabrication.

In addition, extensive coverage of manufacturing planning, management, quality assurance and decision-making are critical components of the coursework. Students also gain understanding of design via courses in statics, strength of materials, machine design and a two-semester capstone project.

Specialty courses add richness to the curricula. For example, the composite materials manufacturing course is a unique course offering manufacturing perspectives, within an aerospace context, of producing composite material parts and structures.
