Gannon University is proud to offer students a truly exceptional opportunity as we have finalized an agreement with Esslingen University in Germany (near Stuttgart) to be able to offer our students a Dual Degree Program. In combination with a year of study at Esslingen, which includes an internship at a global company, students will receive a degree from Gannon as well as a degree from Esslingen. A truly global opportunity for students wishing to embark on a career in international business. Stuttgart is a world renowned hub for international business, especially centered around the automotive industry (Daimler Benz, Porsche and their supplier networks).
Learn to Lead the Way in Industrial and Robotics Engineering
Program coursework integrates science, mathematics, business and engineering methods and teaches you to apply these to complex systems and processes.
Acquire the knowledge and skills needed in a wide variety of engineering, management and robotics disciplines.
Learn to work with project teams and serve as a liaison between management and professionals.
Experience an Exceptional Learning Environment
Our industrial and robotics engineering laboratories and facilities let you engage with faculty in advanced research projects using cutting-edge technologies to assess and improve product and process designs. These include:
A surgical training robot that laparoscopic surgeons use in training.
Collaborative research robots that work alongside humans.
Additive manufacturing capabilities so you can generate prototypes of your designs using 3D printing equipment.
INSPIRE YOUR ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Gain real-world knowledge through key industrial and robotics engineering courses including:
Project Management: Perform industrial engineering analyses and investigations in teams to form complex activities into integral plans.
Supply Chain and Logistics Engineering: : Manage supplier relationships and performance, and maintain product quality, delivery and cost.
Ergonomics/Human Factors: Apply ergonomics principles to new product design. Ensure companies’ ergonomic policies minimize employee injury and discomfort.
ACHIEVE THE POSSIBILITIES
Students experience internship opportunities as early as their first year.
Access to industry-standard technology prepares graduates to achieve 100% job placement rate in the field.
Recent graduates have earned jobs at companies such as Wabtec Corp., Industrial Sales and Manufacturing, and the U.S. Army.
Graduates are trained for various professional roles, such as industrial engineer, project engineer and manufacturing engineer.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage of an industrial engineer is $87,040.
