Boston University Department of Manufacturing Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Distance Learning Program 15 St. Mary's Street Brookline, MA 02446 US   Phone: 1-617-353-2943 Fax: 1-617-353-5548   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.S. via Distance Learning Online   Established in 1990, the Manufacturing Engineering Distance Learning Program (DLP) at Boston University brings outstanding faculty members, relevant courses, and innovative research to working engineers via live video-conferencing and delayed video streaming. The DLP is designed for high-potential engineers with creativity, motivation, and a strong desire to achieve technical excellence. The program’s unique content and synchronous delivery format enables students to immediately apply classroom learning to work-related challenges. Courses are continually redesigned to create competence in technical product leadership and to provide students with the total educational experience on which to build successful industrial and international careers. The program employs internet-based teleconferencing so that students can participate in class from anywhere a high-speed internet connection is available. This configuration also permits call sessions to be recorded in RealVideo as they are conducted and then available online immediate after class for review. Students in the program focus their course work in one of the three concentration areas: Sensors and Instruments, Global Product Development, or Lean Supply Chain Design. Each concentration consists of 36 credit hours, which must consist of at least 20 credits from technically oriented engineering courses. A cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 is required for the program. There are 22 full-time faculty members in the department. Young professors, recently trained in new technologies and methods, focus on analysis, modeling, and theory. Senior faculty members, experiences in teaching, industry, and scholarly research, apply these concepts to the manufacturing process. In addition to teaching, many faculty members also participate in research projects at the University’s research centers and labs.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Most DLP students hold a bachelor’s degree in an engineering-related discipline; however, some hold mathematics or science degrees.   Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GMAT Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: Yes   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 6282  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 4490  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1042  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $33330  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
