With　the　recent　advancement　of　science　and　technology,　the　modern　industry-oriented　competency　requirements　in　mechanical　engineering　demand　higher　education　for　essential　computer　based　knowledge.　Production　processes　in　modern　factories　these　days,　for　example,　mostly　are　controlled　and　operated　by　computers　but　current　mechanical　engineering　curriculum　doesn＇t　provide　such　knowledge.　In　this　paper,　we　proposed　an　interdisciplinary　curriculum　that　is　designed　for　undergraduate　mechanical　engineering　major　students　so　they　may　meet　the　competency　requirements　for　the　industry.　An　ideal　industrial　production　process　management　method,　where　computer　networking　and　cloud　computing　concepts　are　considered　in　the　design,　was　proposed　to　illustrate　such　needs.　The　proposed　method　is　designed　to　solve　the　problems　that　the　modern　production　industries　are　experiencing.　The　proposed　curriculum　is　designed　to　provide　such　computer　knowledge　to　the　mechanical　engineering　major　students,　which　attempts　to　satisfy　the　modern　industry-oriented　competency　requirements.　©　2014　IEEE.
