Industrial Engineering, MEng


Program Description


Industrial engineers design, develop and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy. In addition to these issues, graduates learn to address communications throughout the organization while completing their specialized education. Work at the doctoral level includes independent research, dissemination of findings and preparation for research and teaching careers.

Students with baccalaureate degrees in engineering, the physical sciences, mathematics, or related majors with a strong mathematical background may be admitted into the program. Entering graduate students are assumed to have competence in calculus, probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, and computing. Students admitted without this background are required to complete successfully additional courses, some of which may not carry graduate credit.

The Master of Engineering program is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on capital projects supply chain engineering directed to working professionals. The program is available fully in a distance learning format and courses are delivered asynchronously.
