Program overview

What the University of Connecticut (in partnership with Kaplan International) says about their program:

The Management & Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM) major is an unique academic program that belongs to both the School of Engineering and the School of Business, who jointly award a BS degree.

UConn’s Management and Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM) Program is built upon a simple philosophy: to be effective, technological innovations in manufacturing must be applied to a streamlined and simplified operating environment. Through their studies and internships in the MEM Program, students develop a thorough understanding of the interrelationships among the different areas of a manufacturing enterprise. An integrated education provides a competitive advantage in the manufacturing arena, in which applications of subject matter from business and engineering are equally important.
