Industrial and Human Factors Engineering (IHE), a versatile degree program within the College of Engineering and Computer Science, equips professionals with skills to design and optimize systems across diverse sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace, and retail. Industrial engineers apply simulation, optimization, computing, and statistical methods to enhance technology-driven systems, while human factors specialists create systems that harmonize human capabilities with machinery. The program accommodates geographically dispersed students with varying professional backgrounds through fully online completion options for the M.S.I.H.E. degree. The BIE department provides both Master of Science and Ph.D. programs with an IHE specialization, featuring a choice between thesis and non-thesis tracks. Students can specialize in one of four concentrations: Decision Analytics, Logistics and Supply Chain, Human Factors and Ergonomics, or Neuroengineering, with access to cutting-edge labs and research facilities in the Russ Engineering Center and Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building.
