The Production and Manufacturing Engineering Program (PMP) includes responsibility for product and process design, planning and control issues involving capacity and quality, and organization and supervision of the workforce. PMP provides a strong foundation for becoming a professional with knowledge in both engineering and management aspects of production and their interaction. The engineering side includes operation and integration of manufacturing technology, automation, maintenance and quality aspects, production development tools, and methods as well as software. The management side covers systematic decision-making, operations strategy, planning, control and management of resources that are essential for achieving a sustainable production environment. A Bachelor of Science (BS) in Production and Manufacturing Engineering Management is awarded upon successful completion of 138 credit hours.
