Graduate degree programs
Our graduate programs prepare you for the future of manufacturing
The School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks offers two graduate degree programs that prepare you for a future in industry, research, or further academic pursuits.
Graduate degree programs
Master’s degree programs
Manufacturing engineering, MS
Students in the manufacturing engineering master’s program will develop technical expertise in manufacturing processes or manufacturing systems and management.
Robotics and autonomous systems (systems engineering), MS
Students in the robotics and autonomous systems master’s degree program (systems engineering concentration) will identify, model, analyze, interpret, optimize and manage the multidimensional interactions of increasingly complex modern mechatronic and robotic challenges.
Doctoral degree programs
Manufacturing engineering, PhD
The manufacturing engineering doctoral degree program provides students with the knowledge, skills and abilities to successfully meet the most difficult challenges of modern manufacturing industries on a global scale. Research areas can be one or more of advanced manufacturing processes and smart manufacturing.
Systems engineering, PhD
The systems engineering doctoral degree program advances students’ understanding of complex engineering systems. Students will learn how to manage systems that encompass technological, social, cultural and environmental components that impact the input, output and interactions within a system.
Robotics and autonomous systems (mechatronics and automation), PhD
The robotics and autonomous systems (mechatronics and automation), PhD is for those wanting to develop expertise in a particular and focused problem, including both traditional and advanced robotics and autonomous systems technologies, systems integration and data fusion techniques, and modeling and simulation development.
