Learn how to design, operate, and optimize advanced manufacturing environments in UBC's Manufacturing Engineering program. In fourth year, you'll have the chance to specialize in production management on the Okanagan campus or technical manufacturing on the Vancouver campus.

Manufacturing engineers work to design, apply, and co-ordinate manufacturing system materials and processes. Their goal is to achieve efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality production in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. Manufacturing engineers focus on all aspects of the production of industrial and commercial products, including machinery, electronics, home appliances, oil and gas products, food and beverages, clothing and textiles, and environmental and recycled products.

As a student in the Manufacturing Engineering program, you’ll take:

Courses in mechanical engineering, materials engineering, and computer engineering

Specifically designed manufacturing engineering courses, including manufacturing processes, production systems management, and industrial automation

You’ll also learn about product management, newly emerging practices in digital modelling, virtual machining, additive manufacturing, and composites. Through your studies, you’ll gain experience designing, operating, optimizing, and managing advanced manufacturing environments.

Experiential learning and research

As a Manufacturing Engineering student, you’ll have many opportunities to shape your learning experience:

• Choose from among the technical electives on offer each year to learn more about the research interests of your professors.
• Pursue your research interests an undergraduate student by applying for research funding (e.g., NSERC, CIHR).
• Participate in Engineering Co-op for up to 20 months of paid engineering work experience and a competitive advantage when seeking employment after you graduate.
• Broaden your academic and cultural experience by spending a semester abroad through the Coordinated International Experience program – a program that’s unique to the Faculty of Applied Science.

Your future

As a manufacturing engineer, you may be employed by:

• Government and regulatory agencies
• Manufacturing and processing companies
• Consulting firms
• Organizations in the financial and healthcare industries
• Industrial and government research facilities

In industry, manufacturing engineers can work in areas such as rubber, plastics and chemical manufacturing, manufactured mineral products, computer and electronics manufacturing, and transportation manufacturing.
