Manufacturing Engineering (certificate)

As the United States continues to compete in global markets, the need for manufacturing engineers who can design, build, operate, and manage competitive production systems has never been greater.

Excellence in three-dimensional design and production - especially knowledge of quality CAD, CAM, CNC machining, and robotics - remains critical as industries strive to reduce labor costs, increase productivity and profitability, tighten performance standards, and improve quality.

Courses

This four-course, graduate-level certificate Manufacturing Engineering certificate program educates students in the latest technologies through a hands-on, industry-based curriculum taught by Tufts' renowned faculty in mechanical engineering, and contributes to the formation of future leaders in manufacturing engineering.
