Packaging engineering drafting and design

MMM160, Engineering Communications, is a required course for Michigan State University's (MSU) Bachelor of Science Degree in Packaging Engineering. MMM160 is a comprehensive course, but does not contain specific content for future Packaging Engineers. One hundred (100) questionnaires were forwarded to MSU School of Packaging Alumni from various industries (aerospace, automotive, beverage, chemical, cosmetic, food, paper, pharmaceutical, plastics, tobacco) and graduate classes (1956 to 1984). The data collected confirmed the need for a drafting and design course designed specifically for Packaging Engineers. The topics set forth in this thesis will better prepare Packaging Engineering students for packaging related drafting and design.
