Introduction
The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Technology online degree is designed for those interested in the hands-on side of the manufacturing field. This program is also an excellent fit if you have completed a two-year program in industrial technology, manufacturing technology, basic design technology, CNC machining, robotics, or other relevant areas of manufacturing.
You also have an option to earn graduate credit toward a Master of Science in Engineering Management while working on this bachelor's degree. Through this combined degree program, you can finish both degrees in just four years and save up to $8,625!
The Experience
As a student in this online Manufacturing Technology program, you can choose one of three concentration options: management, information systems, or manufacturing specialist (you can transfer 12 industry-related credits into the manufacturing specialty concentration). You will get the unique experience of hands-on learning in an online environment. For example, in one course you will receive a kit of measurement instruments and lab instructions to learn metrology skills.
Through your coursework in this program, you will learn to be a productive member of a manufacturing team, focusing on manufacturing processes, basic CAD drawing, information systems technology, environmental health and safety, and business management practices. In your final course, you will complete a capstone project where you can apply your skills to solve a real-world problem.
