Overview

Majors in the Manufacturing Systems Engineering program at California State University Northridge receive a solid, broad-based education. The program is designed to ensure student intellectual growth in four primary proficiency areas:

The design and manufacture of products

The design of manufacturing systems

Materials and manufacturing processes

The management of production processes and resources

Individual and team assignments on projects and in laboratories provide students with numerous opportunities to develop their technical, design, leadership, communication, management and team skills.

Small classes are taught by a group of dedicated faculty who among them hold several outstanding teaching and faculty awards, are nationally and internationally recognized for their technical publications, work in engineering professional organizations and have engineering and management experience in industry to share with their students.

Manufacturing Systems Engineering students have opportunities to participate in student chapters of such professional societies as Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE), ASM International (formerly the American Society for Metals International), Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), Engineering Management Student Association (EMSA) and American Society for Quality (ASQ), as well as interdisciplinary student organizations in the College, such as Tau Beta Pi, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the VEX Robotics Club (The Matabots), the National Society for Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE).
