About the course

The MSIE involves some depth of study in a specified area of concentration and requires a research thesis. It prepares you for success as a researcher working for consulting firms, industrial organizations or the government. It?s a research-oriented degree that prepares you for entry into our Ph.D. program and you get priority for assistantship awards.

　　The graduate faculty of the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering supports academic and research interests in four areas:

　　manufacturing systems (manufacturing processes, medical device manufacturing systems, CAM, CIM, robotics, automation, rapid prototyping and concurrent engineering),

　　production systems (logistics systems, supply chain management, scheduling, inventory control, materials handling, facility design, furniture manufacturing and management, quality control, and engineering economics),

　　systems analysis and optimization (health systems, stochastic processes, simulation, mathematical programming, and soft computing), and

　　ergonomics (human performance, occupational safety, and biomechanics). The department faculty actively supports independent graduate degree programs in operations research, integrated manufacturing systems engineering, textile technology and management, and financial mathematics.
