Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Education |
Undergraduate Manufacturing Engineering
Concentration in Mechanical Engineering
|
The program in manufacturing is offered through the Department of Mechanical Engineering and results in a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with a suggested specialization in manufacturing. This program is A.B.E.T. accredited. It emphasizes:
Design
- Manufacturing Processes and Materials
- Computer Integration of Manufacturing Systems
- Planning and Control
Along with the required sequence of courses in mechanical engineering, students may choose from a range of elective courses in manufacturing engineering.

Practice-Oriented Graduate Program
with Manufacturing Engineering Specialty |
Background
The need for well-trained leaders in manufacturing is a direct result of the faster pace of today's business, in which the rate of technological change and magnitude of manufacturing output have reached extraordinary levels. Applications of automation are steadily increasing, and economic projections indicate their continued growth well into the next decade. The need for integrated design and manufacturing education is also evident from the numerous reports and debates around the world. To meet this increasing need, the University of Hartford has developed a graduate concentration in Manufacturing Engineering.
