Overview

The profitable design and operation of modern industrial systems require the integration of human, material, equipment, and financial resources. In recent years this integration has become tighter due to the inclusion of information technology and resulted in more complex systems. Industrial Engineering research focuses on quantitative analysis, synthesis, and management of such complex systems. The affiliated faculty members come from the Industrial Engineering Department of the College of Engineering, the Operations and Information Systems group of the College of Administrative Sciences and Economics, and other related fields.

Our research areas are diverse, including Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Service Operations, Production Systems, Stochastic Processes, Financial Engineering, Mathematical Programming, Data Mining, and Bioinformatics.

The programs are built on the basic methodologies of operations research and their applications in the manufacturing, distribution, and service industries. Graduates of the M.Sc. program have been placed in respectable Ph.D. programs in North America, Europe, and Turkey as well as various professional positions in the industry.

Programme structure

In addition to course work, students are engaged in thesis research. Every student is supervised by an advisor. The M.S. Program with Thesis option requires that the students successfully complete a minimum of 21 credits (with 7 courses) beyond a Bachelor’s degree. In addition to the credit courses, students must complete the non-credit courses; INDR 590 Seminar, ENGL 500 Graduate Writing, and TEAC 500 Teaching Experience.
