Management and Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM)
The Management & Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM) major is an unique academic program that belongs to both the School of Engineering and the School of Business, who jointly award a BS degree.
UConn’s Management and Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM) Program is built upon a simple philosophy: to be effective, technological innovations in manufacturing must be applied to a streamlined and simplified operating environment. Through their studies and internships in the MEM Program, students develop a thorough understanding of the interrelationships among the different areas of a manufacturing enterprise. An integrated education provides a competitive advantage in the manufacturing arena, in which applications of subject matter from business and engineering are equally important.
Students who major in MEM are eligible to apply to the Accelerated Master of Science in Business Analytics and Project Management (MSBAPM) Program.
The Management and Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM) major is available to students at the Storrs Campus.
Students are exposed to mechanical, electrical, civil, and material science engineering courses as well as business courses including marketing, finance, project management, and accounting. In addition, students take MEM courses, which combine manufacturing engineering and business. These courses are often co-taught by an engineering professor and a business professor. The curriculum also incorporates group project work. Students start with hands-on project work during their sophomore year through a 3D printing lab, MEM 2212. During junior year, students complete group projects in Introduction to Products and Processes (MEM 3221). Senior year, students partake in a yearlong Senior Design Project (MEM 4971W and MEM 4972W), which is sponsored by an industry partner.
You will take classes like:
- Design of Machine Elements

Daniel Castillo (MEM '20)
“This summer I am working as a Plant Operations Engineer for the CSI group in both France and the USA! After my internship last summer, I continued to work here throughout the school year and this summer, I am developing and bringing to life an automated inspection project to inspect our components 100% all independently! Our company is a contract manufacturer of high precision mico-metallic components.”
