Bachelor of Science - Plastics Engineering

The Bachelor of Science degree in Plastics Engineering is designed to prepare engineers as experts in the design and manufacturing of plastic components. Plastics engineers work with other professionals in the design of products, particularly to ensure efficiency and quality when manufacturing. First class testing and processing facilities allow plastics engineering students to learn how to setup, optimize and validate processes to meet high quality standards. Plastics engineers also work to design and program automated systems capable of manufacturing and assembling plastic products. Through advanced knowledge of plastics materials, engineering design rules, and computer simulation software, plastics engineers play a vital role in automotive and recreational vehicle components, medical devices, consumer electronics, and everything else made of plastic.
