Mechanical Engineering supports the development of new and improved manufacturing processes that ultimately lead to improvements in product quality and process efficiency. Courses in Manufacturing support the integration of state-of-the-art technologies and process modeling techniques into each student’s coursework.
Core courses are intended to expose the student to advanced manufacturing issues and related engineering assessment methods. Supplemental courses compliment the core sequence with courses throughout the UW covering materials science and engineering, industrial engineering and business that are specific to each student’s interests. Additional information about each course, including availability, can be found through the UW Course Description Website
