这个职业
在现代景观中, 所有依赖的东西都是在哪里制造的, 企业转向制造工程师进行设计, 方向, 以及使产品结出果实的过程的协调. 随着工业试图改进产品和降低成本, 制造工程师处于最前沿, 运用科学原理提高产品质量. 他们是不同部门的关键团队成员, from automobiles and 电子产品 to food products and recreational equipment, 和更多的. 在所有情况下, manufacturing engineers design the processes and systems to make products with the required functionality, 达到高质量标准, 随时随地为客户提供服务, at the best possible price and in ways that are environmentally friendly.
这个项目
Manufacturing engineering is accredited by the Engineering 认证 Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Manufacturing and Similarly Named Engineering 项目. 作为制造工程专业的毕业生, individuals acquire the skills to design systems and processes that improve the quality and productivity of an organization’s operations. Armed with a solid foundation in fundamental engineering and management principles, 他们有效地整合了人们, 技术, 机器, 以及创造积极变化的财政资源, 确保产品的最佳生产.
Motivated undergraduate students within the program have the opportunity to explore an accelerated degree path. The IME department offers an accelerated Master of Engineering program. 这种非命题的优势, project-based degree option lies in the application of pre-established course工作 at the 600 level to be applied to both degrees, offering a graduate degree in only one additional year beyond the undergraduate degree. The program includes 30 credits of graduate classes in addition to a written examination. To be eligible for admission to the 研究生院 and pursue the Master of Engineering accelerated program, students must have completed a minimum of 60 credits and maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0或更高.
教员和设施
目前在工程大楼, 8栋建筑工程综合体的一部分, the department is equipped with seven laboratories designed for both teaching and research, catering to the diverse educational and research requirements of students. These specialized laboratories cover a range of areas including computer simulation, 人为因素, 自动化和机器人技术, 增材制造和生物制造, 计算模型, 生物信息学和运筹学, PLC的, 生产/制造过程, 快速原型, 数控加工, 和精密加工, 以及焊接和精密制造. 在2026年秋天, NDSU's 工程学院 is set to open the new Richard Offerdahl '65 Engineering Complex. This cutting-edge facility will feature state-of-the-art research and learning spaces, equipping future engineers to meet the ever-changing demands of both the University and industry for generations to come.
The IME faculty and staff members in the department have extensive experience in industrial and manufacturing specialties. The IME faculty and staff are dedicated to personally knowing each student, 认识到他们的优势, 了解潜在的挑战, 并在必要时提供支持. 从新大毕业后, 学生将为事业成功培养优秀的能力, 终身个人成长的自信能力, 还有朋友和专业同事的关系网.
