Engineering Technology, Manufacturing Systems Concentration, BS

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology with a concentration in Manufacturing Systems, offered by the Department of Aviation and Technology , is designed to prepare students for technical and management careers in business and industry. Manufacturing Systems prepares you for a career in manufacturing design and management. You will gain knowledge, skills, and practical experiences in innovative manufacturing processes and management, sustainable product design, and sustainable automation and robotics manufacturing practices.

This dynamic and expanding field applies computer design tools and other advanced technologies to the solving of problems in manufacturing systems. A new, strong emphasis on smart manufacturing design practices and sustainable operations will add to your basic and advanced manufacturing design knowledge.
