Abstract

In pursuit of greater opportunities for students, higher education institutes are increasingly expanding their physical presence to become multi-campus institutions. One such institution is the [redacted university], with campuses in [redacted city 1] and [redacted city 2], which are over 400 km (250 miles) from each other. This program is the first of its kind within the [redacted faculty] to be offered across both campuses. This paper gives an overview of the undergraduate Manufacturing Engineering program, including benefits and challenges to being multi-campus. It discusses courses that are taught across both campuses, a fourth (final) year option to pursue one of two specialties on either campus, and efforts made to build student connections and community across campuses.
