Overview of Manufacturing Engineering at UBC

Mission

The Manufacturing Engineering program supports the education and development of engineers with a combination of technical and managerial skills preparing them for sought-after careers in the exceptionally demanding and evolving domain of advanced design and manufacturing.

Manufacturing engineering looks at the entire manufacturing process from the concept and fabrication of individual mechanical parts through to product delivery. The program includes elements from a variety of programs/disciplines including mechanical, electrical, computer and material and links them together within the context of manufacturing.
