Manufacturing Technology Major, Process Option, Bachelor of Science (BS)
The manufacturing process option focuses on select areas of technology, science and methods of materials processing. This option prepares the student to enter and progress in industry in a variety of areas including, quality assurance, inventory control, production line supervision or process management.
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).

Plan of Study
The following plan of study is for a student with zero credits. Individual students may have different factors such as: credit through transfer work, Advanced Placement, Running Start, or any other type of college-level coursework that requires an individual plan.
Courses may be offered in different terms and not all courses are offered every term, checking the academic schedule is paramount in keeping an individual plan current. There may be some courses that have required prerequisites not listed in the plan, review the course descriptions for information. Students should connect with an advisor to ensure they are on track to graduate.
All Undergraduate students are required to meet the Undergraduate Degree Requirements.

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.
Requirements in Degree Works are 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 earn a BS in Manufacturing Technology, Process Option from EWU should be able to:
- 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;
- develop an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of their disciplines;
- identify, analyze, and solve technical and creative problems.
