Elective Courses
Degree candidates, dependent on their
undergraduate background, must take 12 to 18
semester hours of elective courses. They have the
flexibility to choose among the courses listed below,
or with their advisers approval, to select other
courses offered by the School of Engineering or the
Edwin L. Cox School of Business.
ME 5-7356 Human Factors in Manufacturing &
Design
ME 5-7365 Strategies for Manufacturing Firms
ME 5-7366 Manufacturing in a Global Era

Suitable for Undergraduate Electives
Manufacturing Systems Management courses listed in this
program are suitable for undergraduate senior electives and
undergraduates are encouraged to enroll. Classes are
purposely scheduled so that they do not interfere with other
senior classes
Distance Learning
All courses being taught in the Electronic Packaging Program
are being taught on-campus and across the nation in the format
of Distance Learning. Local students may attend classes on
campus or elect to receive DVDs by mail and study the class
material at any time that fits within their busy schedules. Busy
working professionals can take advantage of this flexibility and
convenience to achieve an advanced education. Degree studies
may now be balanced against work priorities. It is easy to
communicate with professors via telephone, fax, and email.
The courses are offered via DVDs mailed to the students
following the classroom instruction. Lecture notes are provided
to the student via email attachment, so that the notes are
available when the student views the DVD.
The degree program totals 30 semester credit hours (ten 3-hour
courses) with no on-campus or thesis requirement. The
program is designed to further your career goals and is ideally
suited for military personnel, whether stationed in the US or
abroad. Additional information may be found in the DANTES
catalog or online.

Core Courses
Degree candidates are required to take the following six courses
for a total of 18 semester hours:
ME 5-7351 Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems
Basic concepts and use of computer integrated
manufacturing. Topics include integration approaches for
manufacturing, process planning and simulation, the
production process in relation to automated control
systems, process design for shop oor control of multiple
interacting processes, distributed network process
control, real-time aspects, interface protocols and
languages of production processes, computational and
data processing methods for planning, design,
production, and shipping, and methods of optimizing
output quality, price and productivity. Economic
justification and the use of articial intelligence for
planning and process control will be examined.
ME 5-7352 Modern Manufacturing Methods and Systems
Highly successful manufacturing methods and systems
will be examined. Topics include the evolution of
manufacturing technology in the United States, mass
manufacturing, integrated manufacturing, distribution and
manufacturing automation, just-in-time systems,
continuous improvement, Kaizen, poka yoke and total
quality management. Modern Japanese manufacturing
techniques will be examined in depth. The underlying
concepts and strategic benets of flexibility, agility, timebased competition, and global manufacturing operation
will be covered. The course will be presented from the
perspective of the manufacturing manager.
