Industrial Engineering and Management, MS
Master's in Industrial Engineering and Management
Curriculum
The MSIEM may be earned by one of two plans:
Plan 1
- Coursework with thesis
- Minimum of 30 hours
- Includes 24 hours of coursework and 6 hours of research
Plan II
- Coursework without thesis
- Minimum of 33 hours
- May include culminating experiences (independent study, internship/practicum)
All MS plans require the selection of a track. The IEM department currently supports a variety of courses in one general track and three specialty tracks:
- General Industrial Engineering (GIE)
- Engineering Management (EM)
- Operations Research (OR)
- Supply Chain & Logistics (SCL)
Research and Faculty
Dr, Farzad Yousefian is an Assistant Professor in Industrial Engineering and Management and was awarded the 2020 National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program award. His research focus is on the design and analysis of algorithms for addressing large-scale optimization and equilibrium problems arising from machine learning and multi-agent systems.
Admissions
Admission to the Graduate College is required of all students pursuing the MS or PhD degree. Graduation from an industrial engineering bachelor’s program (4-year program) with scholastic performance distinctly above average, qualifies the student for admission to the School of Industrial Engineering and Management as a candidate for the master's program. Graduates from related disciplines may be admitted if an evaluation of their transcripts and other supporting materials by the School of Industrial Engineering and Management indicates that they are prepared to take graduate-level course work in industrial engineering, or can be expected to do so after a reasonable amount of prerequisite work.
