This minor is for students not majoring in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or engineering management. The minor provides fundamentals of manufacturing engineering. This includes a variety of industrial applications dealing with manufacturing processes, statistical process control and designing for productivity. It combines a strong base in engineering science with project-based laboratory and design experience. This minor includes a liberal education thematic sequence.

Eighteen semester hours beyond the prerequisite to engineering science are required. None of these courses may be taken on a credit/no-credit basis.
