Last Updated: 02/09/2024 and all information is still up-to-date
The Advanced Manufacturing Concentration strives to teach professionals like you the skills necessary to tackle pressing manufacturing challenges using big data, automation, robotics, nanomanufacturing, and 3-D printing.
Advanced manufacturing skills are highly valued in the US manufacturing industry. The number of jobs requiring advanced manufacturing skill sets has increased by 56% since 2018, according to Deloitte’s 2022 market analysis. In the US alone, a projected 2.1 million advanced manufacturing jobs will need to be filled by the year 2030. North Carolina boasts over 200 advanced manufacturing companies, including a World Top 20 Company based in our city, Raleigh.
Through courses led by top faculty members at the Colleges of Engineering and Management, you will cover topics in manufacturing and automated systems engineering, entrepreneurship, materials sciences, and engineering design optimization. You will take advanced manufacturing courses while simultaneously learning key management skills that complement your technical engineering background, preparing you to lead the manufacturing industry as it grows and adapts to new technologies.
