About the Program
Delve into the study of physics, materials science, thermodynamics and mechanical design to plan, optimize and manage the systems that produce the products we use every day. You will build a solid foundation in production processes, properties of materials, computers and automation, teamwork, and professional communication, then put your skills to the test in our state-of-the-art lab facilities.
The Polytechnic Approach
Study theory in the classroom, then apply it through countless learn by doing opportunities, including laboratory assignments, projects, field trips, trade shows, and co-op work. Weld in the joining lab, produce casts in the foundry and pattern shop, control robots in the automation lab and more. With our hands-on approach, you will graduate ready to take on the industry from day one.
Career Outcomes
Courses
The Manufacturing Engineering program prepares you for careers in industry, research or academia while fostering continued professional growth. You will be ready to excel in leadership roles, enhancing collaboration among engineers, scientists, and business professionals, and positively impact the financial performance of manufacturing enterprises. The program focuses on equipping you with the ability to solve complex engineering problems, apply engineering design with attention to various factors, communicate effectively, and recognize ethical responsibilities. Additionally, you will develop skills for effective teamwork, conduct and analyze experiments, and acquire and apply new knowledge using appropriate strategies.
