A survey of 47 manufacturing companies in the Pacific Northwest was taken during the development of a new manufacturing engineering curriculum at Seattle University. The survey asked companies to comment on current and future manufacturing practices and on curriculum recommendations for a new manufacturing engineering program. The survey results indicate that manufacturing engineers need training in a broad range of topics including manufacturing processes, economics, resource management and computer networking.
