Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering

Advanced manufacturing is the use of innovative technology to improve products or processes, with the relevant technology being described as "advanced," "innovative," or "cutting edge." Advanced manufacturing industries "increasingly integrate new innovative technologies into both products and processes. 

Advanced Manufacturing is planning, managing, and performing the processing of materials into intermediate or final products and related professional and technical support activities such as production planning and control, maintenance and manufacturing/process engineering.

Engineers don’t only dream it – they have a knack for figuring out how to do it by combining ingenuity and advanced technical abilities. Before products can be made, they have to be developed. Engineers are a vital component of the product research and development process, determining how something should perform, and then verifying that it can indeed perform as intended. Video

Mechatronics is a branch of engineering that brings together multiple disciplines—namely, mechanical, electrical, computer, and robotics engineering to connect seemingly disparate stages of design and production processes into a single, streamlined system.

Microelectronics is a subdivision of the field of electronics that deals with very small and microscopic elements to manufacture electronic components. Microelectronics has been rapidly evolving as the most in-demand field of electronics because of the ever-increasing demand for inexpensive and lightweight equipment.

Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and nonconductors or insulators (such as most ceramics). Semiconductors are an essential component of electronic devices, enabling advances in communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation, clean energy, and countless other applications.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics and refers to any subjects that fall under these four disciplines. There are also dozens of alternative versions of STEM (including STEAM, STREAM and METALS) but STEM is by far the most widely used.

A far wider range of academic disciplines fall under this description, including aerospace engineering, astronomy, biochemistry, biology, chemical engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, mechanical engineering, physics, psychology and statistics.
