Successful manufacturing enterprises prosper in the global marketplace through a balance of design, sustainability, quality and production. Manufacturing engineering combines manufacturing processes (e.g., how materials are altered in either shape or properties) and the processes of manufacturing (e.g., design and management of manufacturing systems).
The BS program in manufacturing engineering prepares students to analyze, synthesize and control manufacturing operations using statistical 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, teamwork-oriented and delivered in outstanding fabrication facilities. Graduates of this program become key team members who create and implement processes for making such varied products as airplanes, surgical instruments, toys and foodstuffs.
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 36 months. This OPT work authorization term 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 the degree through ASU Online.

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 also helps students stand out should they decide to pursue advanced study.
With over 300 Global Education program opportunities available to them, students are able to tailor their experience to their unique 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 across 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. Program graduates are well placed 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.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
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. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. 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.
