Manufacturing Engineering Technology (BS), Production Operations and Controls Concentration

Manufacturing Engineering Technology

• Program Prerequisite: Not required.
• Minor: Not required.
• Grade Requirements: A grade of “C” or better in all major courses, support courses, and technical electives is required (a grade of “C-” is not acceptable) in addition to an overall GPA for all courses of 2.00 or higher. Also refer to the general grade requirements for graduation in the Degree Requirements  section of this catalog.  Seniors may petition to have one C- allowed in major and support courses.  Approval from the Program Coordinator and Department Chair is required.
