    Abstract

    When discussing manufacturing engineering education you always end up discussing curricula development, course design, specific topics to be taught, etc. Very rarely it is discussed, how a manufacturing engineering department ought to be designed to create an attractive environment for students, researchers, and industrial collaboration/consultancy.In this paper an internal development project called "The Department of the Future" is described. Based on the needs and expectations of the customers (students, research funding organisations and industry) a vision of the department has been formulated and the requirements to the products/services identified. The organisation necessary to develop the department is outlined as well as the process to implement the vision.
