What will I learn?
An industrial engineering master’s degree that offers an in-depth look at contemporary solutions to challenges in services, manufacturing, product development, and data-driven decision-making.Industrial engineering is a multi-disciplinary engineering field at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and business. The program teaches you how to design the systems behind products and services that affect our everyday lives.The industrial engineering master’s offers you hands-on experiences designing, improving, and controlling complex systems to make them more profitable, practical, controllable, and flexible. As a result, you will become a problem-solver through a flexible program that leverages skills in advanced manufacturing processes, operations research, data analytics, human computer interaction and augmented reality, product development, ergonomics and human factors, health care, logistics and supply chain management, and sustainable design and development.You also will have the opportunity to explore different domain areas while working closely with faculty doing research on contemporary problems. We encourage all of our students to participate in cooperative education, which enables you to apply your skills in the real world before you graduate, and helps to enhance your classroom learning once you return from co-op.An industrial engineer uses their knowledge of manufacturing and production systems, work efficiencies, energy, and natural resources and materials to develop, improve, and optimize integrated systems to become more efficient and sustainable. An industrial engineer improves how an organization integrates work processes, manufactures products, or provides services while also taking into account ergonomic analysis, logistics and supply chain management, and sustainable design and development with an overall systems approach.
