Program Experience

Northeastern's experience-powered learning model has been at the heart of the university for more than a century. It combines world-class academics with professional practice, allowing you to acquire relevant, real-world skills you can immediately put into action in your current workplace. Your Northeastern education can be a dynamic, transformative experience, giving you countless opportunities to grow as a professional and person. As you earn your Bachelor of Science in Advanced Manufacturing degree online, you have the unique opportunity to gain practical experience without geographic limits. Your options may include a capstone project or course projects.

Capstone project: Prepare and complete a capstone project—including two courses during your last two semesters and presenting your project at annual RISE (Research, Innovation, Scholarship, and Entrepreneurship) events.

Course projects: Course projects allow you to work with other students in a team setting on assignments based on your location, employment responsibilities, and company associations. You can also choose to work with your employer or local businesses, and these projects will be part of your final grade.

Example of a course project:

In the AVM 4300 Additive Manufacturing course, you’ll receive a comprehensive overview of manufacturing approaches and technologies used in today’s industry, including the fundamentals of AM and 3D printing, the key AM processes.

Your project components may include design, materials, selection, manufacturing methods, technical partnerships, and marketing. Members of the project team will receive assignments based on their interests and resource availability.

In this course, Northeastern provides:

  • SolidWorks engineering design software—free to all students
  • JPM statistical processing software—free to all students
  • Zoom communications—free to all students
  • Additive manufacturing lab at the Snell library—minimal payment

Project deliverables will be the design and prototype of an assembly made by additive manufacturing (3D) printing and created by students at multiple locations. The design, manufacturing approach, and prototype from this course can be offered to partners and potential employers. Marketing and project management students can also be involved in this project.
