The program is built on a foundation of lower-division math, science, economics, business, and manufacturing concepts. Upper-division sustainable manufacturing (SMFG) classes integrate that foundation into a unified body of knowledge on the management of materials, processes, costs, lifecycle, waste stream, and personnel. In addition to this core curriculum, the program currently offers a range of laboratory courses in three high demand areas:
- Computer-Integrated Manufacturing
- Metals Processing
- Polymer/Plastics Processing
Hallmarks of our program are:
- An industry/academic partnership model that fosters creative solutions to real-world problems
- Faculty with significant industrial experience whose focus is applied undergraduate education through superior teaching and mentoring both in and out of the classroom
- Project experiences that build fundamentals and team skills development
- Facilities and industrial equipment that are readily accessible
- Class sizes that encourage active student participation
The Minor in Manufacturing is specially designed to complement business and engineering majors.
The SMFG Degree Program is professionally accredited by The Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE).
