If you drop out of mathematics for one semester you will find it difficult to continue. You must take a chemistry or physics course every semester if you have the mathematics prerequisites. Spread the non-technical courses throughout your program. See your advisor every semester. Several companies have expressed an interest in graduates with a very strong background in mathematics and science.
Manufacturing is now an international endeavor.
Many companies in the United States buy and sell in the international market. You are strongly urged to complete a minor in the Department of Foreign Languages. These minors require 15 to 19 credit hours to complete. The free electives in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program may allow you to complete a language minor with few if any extra required credits. A minor in Japanese would be especially beneficial to anyone interested in manufacturing.
