Introduction
Successful, wealth-creating industries are increasingly managed by engineers with an appropriately broad education and training. Manufacturing engineers naturally have particular expertise in the design and operation of manufacturing facilities, but increasingly their role is as leaders of multidisciplinary teams.
Manufacturing Engineering gives you a thorough grounding in manufacturing technology and management, together with an understanding of the full range of activities involved from market analysis through product design and production, to sales and distribution, all set firmly within a financial and business context. As well as the engineering and business sides, you also acquire a sound understanding of the human aspects of industry and develop leadership and people skills.
Towards the end of the course, students are encouraged to organise a voluntary overseas research tour for the whole group to investigate an area of current relevance. Recent projects have looked at how the manufacturing industry is emerging and evolving in countries such as India and China, and the Californian approach to industrial sustainability.
