Manufacturing and Materials Engineering (MME) Concentration

A knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials properties and materials availability is essential in almost every engineering endeavor from the production of microchips to building offshore oil drilling rigs.
The core of the concentration in Manufacturing and Materials Engineering provides a basic introduction to materials properties, manufacturing processes and the design tools available to the engineers who create products. Students may then select electives that provide a greater depth of knowledge in the areas of manufacturability, materials characterization, materials properties or materials and process selection.
