Manufacturing Systems Engineering and Management

Almost half of all engineering positions are in or related to manufacturing. This minor is designed to augment undergraduate studies in engineering and closely related fields to facilitate student opportunities for achievement in a manufacturing environment. Some students may find it necessary to complete selected prerequisite courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and/or engineering.

Note: The minor cannot be taken by students who major in EM in the MSEM Department. It can only be taken by students outside the MSEM Department.
