IE Electives:
[Traditional Industrial Engineering]
[Manufacturing]
[Logistics]
[Enterprise Engineering]
[Quantitative Methods]
[Engineering Management]
[Human Factors]
The enterprise systems electives are designed to equip students with the necessary skills and understanding required to succeed in the dynamic world of Enterprise Systems and Consulting.
The enterprise is a complex system of people, processes, and technology designed to accomplish organizational goals. Enterprise systems engineering is the body of knowledge, principles, and practices having to do with the analysis, design, implementation, and operation of the enterprise. The enterprise may include multiple companies participating in a supply chain. In a continually changing and competitive environment, the enterprise must be “engineered” through the use of engineering methods and tools to better accomplish enterprise objectives.
Each student must complete the Industrial Engineering core and nine hours of Industrial Engineering applications. The enterprise systems electives listed or other electives as approved by the graduate advisor are used to complete the 36-hour MSIE program.
