Manufacturing (MFG)

Course Description for Pulp and Paper Manufacturing

(Bachelor of Science Degree Offered)
One concentration is currently available under this degree - Pulp and Paper Manufacturing. The pulp and paper industry provides the public with a variety of products that are part of everyday life, including packaging products, printing paper, newsprint, media specialty products, cleaning materials and clothing. This industry needs highly trained professionals who have been educated in the application of scientific and engineering technology principles to pulp and paper manufacturing processes. Graduates of this program are qualified for a variety of career opportunities. Some will assume highly technical roles in mill operations in such fields as chemical analysis, product testing, environmental control, process control and technical operations. Attractive line and staff supervisory positions are also available. Engineering Technology positions in mill operations and in consulting companies may also lead to positions in technical and engineering management.
