Majoring in manufacturing engineering at USI includes taking classes in advanced manufacturing, mechanics, design, and industrial processes. You will benefit from coursework in machine design, manufacturing process, finite element analysis, and facility and material handling layout. You will develop the skills required to design and implement all aspects of manufacturing from machinery through flexible manufacturing systems.
Manufacturing engineering involves designing high quality, functional and economical products as well as designing, improving, and managing the processes and systems that manufacture those products. You will be trained to use advanced manufacturing technologies such as robotics, mechatronics, and automatic control systems, the same tools driving Industry 5.0 production, through hands-on coursework in additive manufacturing and automated systems.
Course requirements will load when this section is opened.

As a graduate in manufacturing engineering, you will have a significant amount to offer in today’s highly competitive manufacturing market. Potential employers for those in manufacturing engineering might include automotive, construction equipment, and medical equipment industries.
The University of Southern Indiana is committed to making college accessible to those wishing to further their education by providing numerous scholarships, grants, and financial aid options to assist students in managing tuition expenses.
The Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering (BSMFE) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Manufacturing and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
Requirements for licensure and certification vary by profession and by state. USI has reviewed the educational requirements for each state and licensing agency to determine if the academic program here at USI meets the educational requirements to be eligible for licensure/certification in each state or not. Please note that some states may have additional requirements for licensure, such as residency requirements, additional non-academic certifications, etc. that USI cannot determine. We encourage you to check with your state's licensing agency for all requirements needed to obtain licensure.
