However, in addition to departmental requirements, TMI students earning these degrees must take TMI's Topics in Manufacturing course, two to three business elective classes, as well as complete a Team Project. This course is a core requirement for all TMI students. Topics range from traditional manufacturing issues such as lean manufacturing and design for manufacturability, to less mainstream topics such as ethical and environmental considerations in manufacturing. Emphasis has been placed on engaging all TMI students, from all degree programs and levels of experience, and drawing on their diversity to fuel discussion. Students participate in a paid summer internship project.
All projects are like challenging consulting engagements.
Participation in TMI allows MSE students to take courses within the Business School. Students select two to three business courses according to their interests and professional goals. This information is provided as a general guideline only.
