Manufacturing Engineering

About

You can study intense specialization in a single field.

Manufacturing Engineering looks at the entire manufacturing process, from the design concept, engineering analysis, and manufacturing of individual mechanical parts through to product delivery. While Mechanical Engineering examines the theory and applications of machines, Manufacturing Engineering focuses on the design and manufacturing of machines.

After completing a common first year in Applied Science, you'll take courses in mechanical, materials, electrical and computer engineering, plus specifically designed manufacturing engineering courses in manufacturing processes, production systems management, and industrial automation.

Each year, you'll complete a design course that will help prepare you for a final capstone design project in your fourth year of study. At that time, you can choose to specialize in production management on the Okanagan campus or technical manufacturing on the Vancouver campus. Either way, you'll meet the accreditation requirements set out by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Graduation from a university-preparatory program at a senior secondary school: General Secondary Education Certificate (Tawjihi). Certificates must be official. Photocopies are acceptable if certified by school principal, head, or counsellor. Notarized copies are not acceptable.

Career

Given their ability to develop products, plan processes, and optimize production environments, manufacturing engineers have excellent employment opportunities in:

Industrial and government research facilities
Government and regulatory agencies
Rubber, plastics, and chemical manufacturing
Manufactured mineral products
Computer and electronics manufacturing
Transportation manufacturing
Consulting for professional business and educational services

As a Manufacturing Engineering graduate, you could also work as a control and implementation specialist, a systems analysis engineer, a quality control specialist, and more.

How to Apply

As you complete the online application, keep the following tips in mind:

Start early and take your time. Once you begin the application, you will be able to save it and return to it later – but only up until the deadline. Once you have submitted your application to UBC, you will not be able to edit it. Since the online application can sometimes time out if left open for too long, we recommend working on your personal profile questions outside of the application (where you can run them through a spell-checker) then copy and paste them into your application.
Let the online application guide you. You’ll be asked to provide only the information we need based on your degree choice(s), your previous education, and other factors.
Tell us your full academic history. It’s important to include all of the high schools, colleges, and/or universities you have attended. Don’t leave anything out!
Be accurate. UBC has a number of methods in place to authenticate information provided in the application. These methods include, but are not limited to, contacting references, verifying academic records, and requesting additional documentation to verify your personal profile. If an application is found to contain untrue or incomplete information, UBC may, at its discretion: withdraw an offer of admission; require you to withdraw from UBC; subject you to academic discipline; or share the information provided with other post-secondary institutions, law enforcement agencies, or other third parties.
Use an email address you check frequently. Once you have submitted your application, UBC will communicate with you primarily by email.
Note your UBC student number. Write down your UBC student number somewhere safe. You’ll need it in future correspondence with UBC.
