Our MSIE programs combine academic excellence with adaptable professional pathways. The Department provides both Thesis and Non-Thesis tracks for the MSIE Degree, along with a focused Engineering Management Specialization to serve our varied student population. Every MSIE program blends robust theoretical knowledge, practical application, and personalized guidance from distinguished faculty and industry experts.
Industrial Engineering is a comprehensive field covering education and research focused on designing, enhancing, and implementing integrated systems involving people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. Graduate studies and research span three primary areas: manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, and industrial systems. Active research topics include manufacturing processes and systems, statistical quality control, failure and lifecycle assessment, production system optimization, reliability engineering, machine learning applications, sensor networks, manufacturing diagnostics, set-covering theory, simulation technologies, advanced materials processing (including nanomaterials, thin films, printed electronics, carbon nanotubes, composites), and multi-scale material simulations.
The department provides multiple Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE) pathways tailored to student interests and career goals. Options include a research-focused traditional MS requiring a thesis defense, a non-thesis Engineering Management specialization (MSIE-EM), and an accelerated BS-MS combined program. We also offer a course-based MS in Systems Engineering (MSSE) designed for working professionals. Complete program details and requirements are outlined in the Industrial Engineering Graduate Handbook available through the department.
