Engineers collaborate on transdisciplinary teams to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program in manufacturing engineering enables students to develop sophisticated technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication, teamwork and collaboration, and self-motivation and adaptability that many employers seek. Graduates are prepared to work in large corporations, government agencies, small businesses, as well as to go on to graduate school to pursue advanced degrees. 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 other people within and outside of their company. Career employment opportunities include direct manufacturing support, manufacturing management, and quality control and assurance. Due to a strong, broad and practical engineering skill set, graduates are highly valuable in small or new startup companies. Program graduates are well-placed and command top salaries.
