Place yourself at the forefront of innovation and problem-solving with the dual BSE program in manufacturing and mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Designed for ambitious students intrigued by the complex mechanics of manufacturing processes and the intricacies of mechanical systems and tools, our program lets you obtain two BSE degrees at the same time. Jump-start your engineering career with a solid foundation in both disciplines, providing a competitive edge in the job market.

The dual degrees require 143 credits, just 15 more than you need for a single degree. You can earn the additional credits by taking an extra class most semesters or extending your studies by one semester.

Where A Manufacturing/Mechanical Engineering Degree Will Take Me

Upon completion of the dual program, your broad knowledge in both fields of engineering will equip you for various high-demand roles in industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, and more. Whether it's design and development, production, operations, or research, your versatile expertise can steer you toward endless career opportunities.

You’ll also have a great background for pursuing graduate studies at UM-Dearborn in our programs in manufacturing systems engineering, mechanical engineering, and other engineering disciplines.
