5 What is the MEng in Manufacturing? One Year, Non-Research Graduate DegreeOne Year, Non-Research Graduate Degree Comprehensive Manufacturing CurriculumComprehensive Manufacturing Curriculum Taken as a CohortTaken as a Cohort Emphasis on Using Engineering BackgroundEmphasis on Using Engineering Background Introduction of the Systems PerspectiveIntroduction of the Systems Perspective Project-Based, and Team-Based CurriculumProject-Based, and Team-Based Curriculum Strong Industry ConnectionStrong Industry Connection –8 of 12 Months on Group Project in Industry.

6 Group Projects Based in a CompanyBased in a Company Teams of 3-4 StudentsTeams of 3-4 Students Solve Problem of Value to Company and Pedagogically Aligned with the DegreeSolve Problem of Value to Company and Pedagogically Aligned with the Degree During 8 of the 12 months of programDuring 8 of the 12 months of program Project Definition is Critical and Time ConsumingProject Definition is Critical and Time Consuming

7 Team: Linda Donoghue, Jackie Holmes, Kasra Namvari Advisor: Brian Anthony Project Objectives Identify opportunities for quality control improvement, focusing on the single-use cartridge Further understanding of physical processes and ability to predict expected behavior Benefits Enhanced test performance Improving manufacturability for clinical trial production and future full scale manufacturing

8 “Customer” Feedback Admissions InterviewsAdmissions Interviews –Passion for Manufacturing – “This Program Fits” Alumni CareersAlumni Careers –Majority of Graduates go to Manufacturing Firms –Focus on Operations: Flow, Quality, New Product Introductions, Supply ChainFlow, Quality, New Product Introductions, Supply Chain EmployersEmployers –MEngM students are …. “different….” –Ready to Have Impact Now –Team Players Ready to Lead
