School
of Engineering Technology
Applies The
applied technology major is designed to serve those individuals who
wish to continue their technology-related community college education.
The program offers the flexibility of accepting a block of up to 34
credits of technical courses as transfer credit. Articulation
agreements have been established with several community colleges to
ensure the maximum transfer of credits. Students transferring
from other four-year higher education institutions with a technical
major may also find this major suitable.
This degree includes 48 credit hours
of General Education Requirements, many of which you may have already
obtained as part of your associate degree, for example: College
Algebra, Fundamentals of Chemistry with lab, Computer Applications for
Industry, General Psychology, Economics and 2 credit hours of Physical
Education.
In addition to your
maximum 34 credits of technical courses, you will need to complete 21
credit hours of EMU Restricted Electives in consultation with an advisor,
and complete the remaining degree requirements
to achieve 124 credit hours for graduation.
Manufacturing Technology
Major (MFG)
The rapid increase in complexity
of manufacturing technology and operation has caused the education of
most engineers to become increasingly theoretical. This
has produced a demand for manufacturing professionals who have applied
technical skills. Our graduates, who are education in applied
technologies, help to meet that demand. Students majoring in manufacturing
are prepared for a wide range of professional positions in industry.
Graduates are employed as manufacturing engineers; manufacturing
operations managers; computer applications integrators; product, process
and tool designers; and in many other technical and managerial positions.
The manufacturing technology major includes a core of fundamental
manufacturing courses designed to produce a well-rounded graduate with
hands-on experience. In advanced courses, students gain knowledge
and skills in mechanical and tool design, fluid power systems, quality
control, robotics and control technologies for machines, processes and
manufacturing operations management. A number of our graduates
have become certified as manufacturing technologists or manufacturing
engineers by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.
This degree includes
48 credit hours of General Education Requirements, many of which you
may have already obtained as part of your Associate Degree, for example:
College Algebra, Elementary Statistics, Plane Trigonometry, Computer
Applications for Industry, General Psychology, Economics and 2 credit
hours of Physical Education.
In addition some of
the Major Requirements for this degree may have been completed, such
as: Engineering Graphics I & II, Computer Numerical Control, Manufacturing
Processes and Methods I & II, GD&T, Circuit Analysis and Motor Controls.
Students interested
in pursuing an EMU Baccalaureate Degree in Manufacturing Technology
are advised to work closely with an OCC counselor and Eastern Michigan
University College of Technology advisor to develop their educational
plan.
