Manufacturing Systems Engineering and Management

Many professional career positions are in functional areas in which knowledge and skills in automation technology and in computer-aided design and manufacturing are an integral part of the product design and implementation processes. This minor is structured to augment undergraduate studies in engineering and related areas so as to facilitate student opportunities for access to and achievement in these professional career positions. 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 MSE or EM in the MSEM department. It can only be taken by students outside the MSEM department.

1. Required Courses (9 units)

MSE 248/L Engineering CAD and Graphics (2/1)
MSE 409/L Fundamentals of Computer-Aided Manufacturing and Lab (2/1)
MSE 410/L Manufacturing Systems Modeling and Lab (2/1)

2. Elective Courses (9 units)

Each student must complete three elective courses at the 400-, 500-level, that have been selected with the guidance of a faculty advisor. The courses selected are expected to be consistent with student background and interests, as well as Program suitability and coherence. All electives must be approved in advance by the department.
