_{The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing (Manufacturing Engineering) is the only four-year degree program in manufacturing engineering in western Pennsylvania.}

It examines methods to design, plan, develop, improve, and manage the machinery, processes, and systems that produce the products we see and use on a daily basis. Students learn about materials, processes, assembly methods, production equipment, systems capabilities, and quality standards that ensure products meet customers' expectations. With the 4+1 integrated degree program, students can go on to earn an M.S. in Engineering Management with only one additional year of study.

Program Educational Objectives

Five years after graduation, RMU manufacturing engineering graduates should:

• Be technically competent manufacturing engineers.
• Be hands-on practitioners of manufacturing engineering.
• Possess strong understanding of business and, strong team and communications skills.
• Be well-prepared to embrace the continuous learning necessary to practice manufacturing engineering over their entire professional lifetimes.
• Have a strong understanding of engineering ethics.

Student Outcomes

From 2019-2020 Academic Year to Present

At the time of graduation, the graduate should have:

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
• proficiency in materials and manufacturing processes and understand the behavior and properties of materials as they are altered and influenced by processing in manufacturing.
• proficiency in process, assembly and product engineering and understand the design of products and the equipment, tooling, and environment necessary for their manufacture.
• an appreciation for the necessity for manufacturing competitiveness and understand how to create competitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy and control.
• the ability to design manufacturing systems through the analysis, synthesis, and control of manufacturing operations using statistical and calculus based methods, simulation, and information technology.
• laboratory experiences which enable them to measure manufacturing process variables and make technical inferences about them.
