Master of Science in Engineering in Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineers play key roles and are at the forefront of designing effective and efficient systems for quality products and services. The Master of Science in Engineering in Industrial Engineering is intended for students with undergraduate Engineering degrees to further advance their knowledge in areas such as analytical modeling, production planning, facilities design, and scheduling.

Program Objectives

Graduates of the program will:

• have the ability to synthesize, analyze, and optimize data for enterprise decision making

• model, improve, control, and re-design enterprise data

• be prepared to apply new tools and technique to solve industrial engineering problems
