A: One of the strengths of the NDSU engineering college is the emphasis placed on cooperative education. Students are encouraged to take a semester off any time after their sophomore year to work in industry as a Manufacturing Engineering co-op.
A: Job prospects and salary for manufacturing engineering graduates are highly competitive with better-known disciplines like electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and architecture. This can be attributed to the outstanding program offered at NDSU and the scarcity of the degree. NDSU is only one of nineteen universities in the United States to offer an accredited Manufacturing Engineering degree. Detailed breakdown of employment records showing how manufacturing engineering graduates compare to other engineering disciplines. Since the program did not begin until 1997, the graduating classes are small. However, now that the program is fully developed, the number of students entering the program is increasing rapidly.
