Masters students in the Industrial Engineering program can choose to focus on several different areas of special interest including engineering management, product development and manufacturing, and computer modeling and operations research. Engineering management is oriented towards the management of technology and the development of tools for the management of technology. Product development and manufacturing presents an industrial engineering approach to product design, development, realization, and manufacturing. The objective of the computer modeling and operations research track is to develop strong quantitative skills directed toward mathematical modeling and solution of large-scale, real-world problems. The doctoral program prepares students for the rigorous demands of careers in industry, research and development, or academia. Doctoral students may choose studies in operations research, manufacturing systems, or engineering management. In addition to manufacturing and traditional industries, other application areas include health systems, utilities, banking institutions, education, distribution & logistics, software development, and small manufacturing.
