Associate of Manufacturing - Manufacturing Engineering Technology (106233)

A skilled workforce is needed in the manufacturing/production operations and/or manufacturing/production services for the design and development of new products, production systems, processes, operations, services, quality control, continuous improvement, lean principles, manufacturing competitiveness, and sustainability. As a Manufacturing Engineering Technology associate degree graduate, students will prepared for a career as a technologist to apply the fundamentals of materials selection, tooling, assembly and automation to the solution of manufacturing and production related activities. This unique program transfers into the University of Wisconsin-Stout's bachelor of science degree in Manufacturing Engineering offered entirely in Green Bay at the NWTC campus.

A graduate of the program will have the potential for employment in the manufacturing sector as a technologist in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Productivity Improvement or Continuous Improvement, assisting engineering and management in the design and production of products as efficiently as possible.

Program Outcomes: • Characterize how lean culture and tools can help an organization achieve operational excellence. • Apply proper engineering principles in design. • Utilize computer-aided applications in design and manufacture of products and processes. • Demonstrate the principles of material selection and application. • Apply automation principles for design and control of manufacturing processes.
