1. Introduction Of the MSIE Program

The mission of the Master of Science in industrial engineering (MSIE) degree program is to enhance the skills of degreed engineers by providing advanced knowledge and skills that are needed to design, model, analyze and manage modern complex systems in order to increase the effectiveness of manufacturing and service sector organizations. Students will have opportunity to enhance their knowledge on technical skills such as optimization, production planning, quality, supply chain management, simulation, analytics, reliability, ergonomics, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, and biomedical engineering, and also non-technical skills required for success in their careers. Recent graduates have obtained positions in manufacturing, services, and consulting companies.
