Incoming first-year students may be admitted into the major by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the time of enrollment at UConn, based on their credentials at the time of enrollment. Similarly, a first-semester student enrolled in the School of Business or the College of Engineering may freely transfer into the MEM program via ppc.engr.uconn.edu, but only prior to the completion of the first semester. After the end of the first semester, all admissions to MEM are subject to the above restrictions.
Supplemental Academic Standards
After admission into the Management and Engineering for Manufacturing program, students must maintain a high standard of scholastic achievement to continue in the major program. Any student having completed 24 or more credit hours must maintain a minimum 2.79 cumulative grade point average. A student failing to meet this standard is subject to dismissal from the program.
The Management and Engineering for Manufacturing program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
Requirements
Requirements for all Management and Engineering for Manufacturing students, both through the School of Business and through the School of Engineering, are the same.

The Management and Engineering for Manufacturing undergraduate program educational objectives are that our alumni/ae: practice their profession with solid engineering and business knowledge and skills and have a total enterprise vision of world class manufacturing and service organizations; compete successfully using lean manufacturing and quality management principles in the design, manufacture of products, and development of services; and apply high professional standards, with up to date knowledge and personal skills, integrating global factors in their approach to engineering and business decisions.
Information Literacy
In addition to the basic competency achieved in ENGL 1007 Seminar and Studio in Writing and Multimodal Composition/ENGL 1010 Seminar in Academic Writing/ENGL 1011 Seminar in Writing through Literature or equivalent, all students will receive instructions on how to conduct an effective search for information in the library and how to conduct an effective search on the web for applicable engineering topics in course ENGR 1000 Orientation to Engineering or equivalent. As the student progresses in their program, various courses will require assignments to increase their information literacy competency. The advanced level of information technology competency will be achieved at the completion of MEM 4971W Senior Design Project I and MEM 4972W Senior Design Project II.
Writing in the Major
MEM 4971W Senior Design Project I and MEM 4972W Senior Design Project II are the senior design project courses for the program. All students must write reports on their projects. These courses provide opportunities to write professional reports with appropriate feedback and criticism from two faculty members. The report writing provides instruction in proper report structure for professional work in practice.
Students are encouraged to seek faculty-supervised manufacturing summer internships prior to their junior and senior years. Such internships may be shown on the student records by registering for MEM 3281 Manufacturing Internship, with instructor and advisor approval.
MEM students have available a one-semester exchange program with the Industrial Engineering and Management program from Lund University, Sweden.
Concentration in Naval Science and Technology
The concentration in Naval Science and Technology is designed to expose students to engineering concepts and topics of importance to the Navy and industries that support naval science and technology. It is focused on facilitating interactions between students and naval professionals as well as hands-on and experiential activities related to senior design projects or independent study projects that have naval science and technology connections.
To complete this concentration, students must complete nine credits of Naval Science and Technology Coursework topics, distributed as follows:
- At least three credits of ENGR 3109 Navy STEM Professional Development Seminar.
- Six credits from the following courses (or four if using Senior Design):
Course List | Course | Title | Credits |
| MEM 3295 | Special Topics in Management and Engineering for Manufacturing | 1-16 |
| MEM 3299 | Problems in Management and Engineering for Manufacturing | 1-4 |
| MEM 4971W | Senior Design Project I | 2 |
| MEM 4972W | Senior Design Project II | 2 |
| MEM 4296 | Honors Research | 1-6 |
Students electing to complete the concentration must do so in their primary major, and as such select elective coursework from their primary discipline. Students electing to use their Senior Design course sequence must have their project topic approved by both their departmental senior design coordinator and either the director of the Navy STEM Program or the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education.
Students electing to use Special Topics courses or Independent Study/Research courses must have the course or research topic approved by both their department and either the director of the Navy STEM Program or the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education. Other courses relevant to naval science and technology may be considered for the concentration by petition to the director of the Navy STEM Program or the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education. Students may not apply courses used in this concentration to fulfill requirements for other concentrations or minors.
The concentration in Naval Science and Technology is restricted to U.S. citizens.
