Bachelor of Science - Manufacturing Systems Engineering

Manufacturing Systems Engineers turn ideas into reality. They play key roles in the creation of almost every single product that people see or use, from clothing to computers, from automobiles to space shuttles, from frozen foods to toys. The challenges of creating and using new materials to meet future needs, relieving human drudgery by automating dangerous and onerous production processes, and forming and leading teams of engineering experts are all examples of a few of the numerous opportunities for which the Manufacturing Systems Engineering Program prepares its students.

Manufacturing Systems Engineering majors 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:

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).
