Manufacturing Technology Major, DFM Option, Bachelor of Science (BS)
The design for manufacturability option prepares the graduate for placement in the world of manufacturing. A student graduating with this option should have mastered the basic skills appropriate for the design, development, manufacturing and sale of consumer products. Students should enter the labor force at the middle-management level. The breadth of preparation in the design option provides a broad foundation from which to build and progress.
Note: Including university requirements, the above program requires a minimum of 180 credits, an average of 15 credits per quarter for a 12 quarter, four-year program. The 180 credits are based upon the following assumptions:
- Students have had one year of high school drafting. If this assumption is not true, then the student will have to take METC 102;
- Students will have satisfied university proficiencies. If this assumption is not true, then the student will have to complete up to six more classes. (See Undergraduate Degree Requirements.)
Grade Requirements: In order to graduate, students majoring in the department must earn an average GPA ≥2.5 in all courses required for this major (all courses in the list below).

Application for Graduation (use EagleNET) must be made at least two terms in advance of the term you expect to graduate (undergraduate and post-baccalaureate).
Use the Catalog Archives to determine two important catalog years.
Degree Works calculates based on these two catalog years.
- The catalog in effect at the student's first term of current matriculation is used to determine BACR (Breadth Area Credit Requirements) and UGR (Undergraduate Graduation Requirements).
- The catalog in effect at the time the student declares a major or minor is used to determine the program requirements.
Students who successfully earn a BS in Manufacturing Technology, DFM from EWU should be able to do the following:
- communicate effectively;
- develop a commitment to quality, timeliness and continuous improvement;
- develop a recognition of the need for, and the ability to engage in, lifelong learning;
- develop an ability to understand professional, ethical or social responsibilities;
