Students from Germany
Boston University, in conjunction
with the Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hochschule (RWTH), has
established this unique graduate engineering degree program in Global
Manufacturing that emphasizes solving industrial production and
process problems in a multicultural environment. This
highly selective 2-year research intensive program prepares students
to become international engineering practitioners and managers who
are trained to operate in the global business environment.
The Global Manufacturing Masters
Degree curriculum caters to the 21st century engineer by delivering
information, systems, and management science skills. The recognition
of the importance of information systems complements classical manufacturing
engineering instruction in design, automation, engineered materials,
and machine tool design, as well as more recent application areas
including microelectronics manufacturing, optoelectronics, and microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS).

required and elective courses available to students enrolled in
the Global Manufacturing Degree Program.
Engineering students, after completing
their 4th year of studying at the RWTH will spend up to 24 months
at BU taking classes while pursuing their research at Fraunhofer
CMI.
Students will be required to complete
three core courses, two courses in a chosen area, one elective and
an eight credit master thesis at CMI (based on research). At the
completion of the program, RWTH students will be rewarded both:
a MS in Global Manufacturing at Boston University and a German Diploma.
Students may be eligible to receive
a Research Assistantship which covers tuition and includes a stipend
while matriculated in the program.
