Learn how to balance innovative design, quality and efficient production. You'll build the skills to create sustainable manufacturing systems that meet global market needs and support long-term business success.
Successful manufacturing enterprises prosper in the global marketplace through a balance of design, sustainability, quality and automated production. Manufacturing engineering combines manufacturing processes (e.g., how materials are altered in either shape or properties) and the processes of manufacturing (e.g., use of industrial robotics and design and management of factory manufacturing systems).
In the Bachelor of Science program in manufacturing engineering, you learn to analyze, synthesize and control manufacturing operations and production systems using digital fabrication techniques, industrial robotics, and quality control methods; to collaborate across disciplines to design and build automated manufacturing systems for factory operation; to design innovative products and the equipment, tooling and environments necessary for their manufacture; to model, simulate and analyze manufacturing production processes for both small- and large-scale environments; and to provide technological leadership.
The curriculum is project-based, hands-on and teamwork-oriented, and delivered in outstanding manufacturing facilities.
This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Manufacturing Engineering Program Criteria.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.

This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and a master's degree in as little as five years. Accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree programs are designed for high-achieving students who want the opportunity to share undergraduate coursework with graduate coursework to accelerate completion of their master's degree. These programs feature the same high quality curriculum taught by ASU's world-renowned faculty.
This program is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
General university admission requirements:
All students are required to meet general

ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
Students learn to thrive in a global environment through the rich educational and interpersonal experiences inherent in study abroad. A resume enhanced by the valuable study abroad experience impresses prospective employers and helps students stand out if they pursue advanced study.
With more than 300 Global Education program opportunities available to them, students are able to tailor their experience to their specific interests and skill sets. Whether in a foreign country, in the U.S. or online, students build communication skills, learn to adapt and persevere, and are exposed to research and internships around the world, increasing their professional network.
Engineers collaborate on transdisciplinary teams to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services.
Graduates possess the technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication, teamwork and collaboration and the self-motivation and adaptability that many employers seek. Graduates are prepared to work in large corporations, government agencies and small businesses, and to pursue advanced degrees in graduate school. The program's emphasis on open-ended design and project-based learning supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes, and some students start companies of their own.
Graduates typically work as manufacturing engineers in a variety of companies, large and small. They are often members of design and development teams, cooperating with people within and outside their companies. Career employment opportunities include direct manufacturing support, manufacturing management, and quality control and assurance. Small and new startup companies value the strong, broad and practical engineering skill set of program graduates. Graduates become key team members who create and implement processes for making such varied products as semiconductor chips; aerospace, defense and automotive equipment; surgical instruments; and industrial equipment. Graduates find excellent employment opportunities and command top salaries.
Example job titles and salaries listed below are not necessarily entry level, and students should take into consideration how years of experience and geographical location may affect pay scales. Some jobs also may require advanced degrees, certifications or state-specific licensure.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
