Master of Engineering Technology (Manufacturing)

Overview

Master of Engineering Technology (Manufacturing) focuses on the research, design and development of manufacturing systems, processes, machines, tools, and equipment. Manufacturing engineering technology is multidisciplinary, most notably overlapping with industrial, and design engineering technology, where this Masters degree would enabled students to venture into higher level research area, and guide them to have higher level of thinking, and detailed understanding of each level of the research process.

Additionally, with combining skills in mathematics and sciences to develop innovative ways of designing better systems and processes for real world problems, students would be able to envision the viabilities of fulfilling the research ideas.

Master of Engineering Technology (Manufacturing) graduates would have a better opportunity for career advancement in their current jobs or within the manufacturing sector for instance; as manufacturing engineers, design managers, manufacturing systems engineer, production managers and quality managers.
