The University of New Mexico (UNM) Manufacturing Engineering Program (MEP), a multidisciplinary graduate-level program within the School of Engineering (SOE), offers the degree of Master of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering (MEME). The MEME degree supports concentrations in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM, 33 hrs), Mechanical and Equipment Manufacturing (MEM, 33 hrs), and Semiconductor and Microsystems Manufacturing (SMM, 31 hrs). Although a research thesis is an option, MEP students typically elect to do a manufacturing project with industry, or they take the course-only plan. The three-month Industrial Internship is no longer rrequired, however, it is enouraged to gain manufacturiing experience.<br><br> The MEP core curriculum utilizes two MBA-level courses provided by the UNM Anderson Schools of Management (ASM) that cover managerial economics (MGMT-504) and managing people in organizations (MGMT-506). The SMM concentration has a special core that covers semiconductor and microelectronics design and processing, and factory design and operations.
