B.I.S. Options in Production and Inventory Control The Manufacturing Engineering Technology department offers those courses required by APICS The Association for Operations Management for a continuing education certificate in Production and Inventory Control Technology. The courses indicated below with an asterisk (*) prepare one to take the APICS Certification Exam as well as receive the above certificate. In addition, if these courses are taken in conjunction with the other courses listed below or other courses approved by the department chair, all of these may then be used to fill one of the three areas required for a Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree. The courses must be taken for credit and the area of emphasis will be in Production and Inventory Control (not Manufacturing Engineering Technology). The course of study described below must be approved by the MFET department chair. Course Requirements for B.I.S. Emphasis Manufacturing Engineering Technology Courses Required (18 credit hours) Please refer to the online catalog (weber.edu/catalog/current) for an updated listing of required courses.
