STEM Career: Manufacturing Engineer
Manufacturing engineers equip, develop, install, oversee, and maintain all the physical aspects of a production plant. In other words, they manage all the machines and equipment used to make the company’s products. Add in the need for efficiency and volume, and these engineers are well challenged to assure quality finished products are shipped on time.
Tools of the Trade
3D design programs, draft angle analysis tools, assembly guide programs
Education Required
A bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering; sometimes graduate courses are expected.
