The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science degrees in Manufacturing Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.ABET.org.

The curriculum in Manufacturing Engineering supports a range of career paths in the areas of manufacturing process development, manufacturing systems analysis, and new product development, among others. The degree prepares students for industry, graduate study, or other career paths, specializing or broadening further their knowledge and skills. 

Program Educational Objectives—Manufacturing Engineering

Note: The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science degrees in Manufacturing Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.ABET.org, which requires stated program educational objectives and student outcomes to support these.

OSU Manufacturing Engineering graduates receive an innovative education, and within 3 to 5 years of graduation will have:

1. Created value to organizations through the analysis, evaluation, and improvement of engineered systems and processes using appropriate manufacturing engineering methods and tools.
2. Communicated effectively across disciplines and cultures to manage and/or lead activities in support of organizational goals and objectives.
3. Innovated systems and processes, in response to organizational challenges, though the application of structured and unstructured manufacturing engineering methodologies, including engineering design and problem solving.

Student Outcomes for Manufacturing Engineering Programs

The OSU Manufacturing Engineering program prepares its graduates to achieve the Program Educational Objectives above several years into their careers. This is achieved by having students able to perform the following upon graduation:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
   1. An ability to design manufacturing processes that result in products that meet specific material and other requirements
   2. An ability to design products and the equipment, tooling, and environment necessary for their manufacture
   3. An ability to create competitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy, quality, and control
   4. An ability to analyze, synthesize, and control manufacturing operations using statistical methods
   5. An ability to measure manufacturing process variables and develop technical inferences about the process
