The Master of Engineering (MENG) in Digital Design and Manufacturing is a 30-credit online graduate degree for engineers wishing to advance their knowledge in digital tools and models used in modern industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students will learn and master the tools shaping the future of engineering, from digital twins and 3D design software to machine learning and data science, in a part-time program designed for their success.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together with faculty from the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering, students will benefit from world-class research and teaching capabilities backed by significant funding from the likes of the National Science Foundation and various Departments of Defense, Energy, and Education funding agencies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudents will learn from one of the strongest computational design manufacturing groups in the United States, whose faculty have extensive industry experience,\u201d says School Director Horea Ilies. \u201cWe\u2019re investing in digital design and manufacturing courses to meet the hiring needs in high-tech fields such as manufacturing engineering, software development, and robotics. These industries tend to pay well and contribute to the state of Connecticut\u2019s economic growth, creating a successful cycle of growth for all involved.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon completing the program, students will be able to: use digital design tools and processes to create and evaluate 3D CAD models; apply simulation and analysis skills to digital design projects; use emerging technologies in the digital design and manufacturing space; apply data-driven decision-making to the development of digital design and manufacturing products; use design optimization methods for the design of engineered products; and evaluate manufacturing automation and its potential for adaptation to industry trends.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This MENG degree is offered through the Center for Advanced Engineering Education (CAEE).<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>CAEE<\/span><\/a> provides graduate engineering education and training that is relevant, interactive, convenient, and affordable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, students can earn this degree remotely from anywhere in the world, offering an accessible path to advanced engineering education.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur degrees are designed to help students elevate their career and make a lasting impact in the engineering world,\u201d says CAEE Director Nora Sutton. \u201cOur programs align with industry\u2019s latest needs, and this Digital Design and Manufacturing MENG is one example of that effort.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Students enrolled in this degree take classes such as CAD for Industrial Design; Data Science for Materials and Manufacturing; Manufacturing Automation and Industry 4.0; and Design Under Uncertainty and Health Prognostics and more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
