Beginning this fall, Eastern Kentucky University will become the 24th postsecondary institution in the country to offer a bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering. The State Capitol Rotunda was the sight for the official announcement Tuesday. EKU President David McFaddin said all the methodology and experiential learning will be focused on a manufacturing sector.
“And so there are all the requisite requirements. So, you will be able to sit for a P at the end of this, just like you do for the other disciplines inside of engineering. It’s just that the focus on this curriculum-wise, student experience-wise will be focused on manufacturing exclusively,” said McFaddin.
