Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering

Description

The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering program is designed to prepare students to practice as engineers who are experts in the production process, from design through manufacturing. It is concerned with the application of basic scientific and engineering knowledge to the development, manufacture, and distribution of products of all types. Being a multidisciplinary program (mechanical, electronics, industrial, management, and material science), it covers areas as diverse as the design and operation of factories, the economic analysis of projects, computer simulation of manufacturing systems, the use of robots in manufacturing, the design of materials handling systems, and the design of systems for controlling production.

Graduates of this program have a good preparation for career options in numerous industries such as electronics, energy, food processing, and manufacturing. Possible positions in companies include design engineer, manufacturing engineer or manager, process engineer or manager, and more. Graduates are also well prepared for a successful graduate study.

Program Educational Objectives

Within five (5) years after graduation, graduates of the program shall have:

• Undertaken, singly or in teams, projects that show ability to solve complex engineering problems.
• Had substantial involvement in projects that take into consideration safety, health, environmental concerns and the public welfare, partly through adherence to required codes and laws.
• Demonstrated professional success via promotions and/or positions of increasing responsibility.
• Demonstrated life-long learning via progress toward completion of an advanced degree, professional development/continuing education courses, or industrial training courses.
• Exhibited professional behavior and attitude in engineering practice.
• Initiated and implemented actions toward the improvement of engineering practice.

Program Outcomes

By the time of graduation, the student shall have developed:

ABET Program Outcomes

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

PRC and CHED Outcomes

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Conduct investigations of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
3. Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components, or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader of diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
5. Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems, reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
6. Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
7. Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
8. Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of professional engineering work in the solution of complex engineering problems in a societal and environmental context.
9. Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
10. Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems.
11. Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering problems with an understanding of the limitations.
12. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
