Learn how to design, operate, and optimize advanced manufacturing environments in UBC's Manufacturing Engineering program. In fourth year, you'll have the chance to specialize in production management on the Okanagan campus or technical manufacturing on the Vancouver campus.
Manufacturing engineers work to design, apply, and co-ordinate manufacturing system materials and processes. Their goal is to achieve efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality production in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. Manufacturing engineers focus on all aspects of the production of industrial and commercial products, including machinery, electronics, home appliances, oil and gas products, food and beverages, clothing and textiles, and environmental and recycled products.
As a student in the Manufacturing Engineering program, youll take:
Courses in mechanical engineering, materials engineering, and computer engineering
Specifically designed manufacturing engineering courses, including manufacturing processes, production systems management, and industrial automation
Youll also learn about product management, newly emerging practices in digital modelling, virtual machining, additive manufacturing, and composites. Through your studies, youll gain experience designing, operating, optimizing, and managing advanced manufacturing environments.
