IE Electives:
[Traditional Industrial Engineering]
[Manufacturing]
[Logistics]
[Enterprise Engineering]
[Quantitative Methods]
[Engineering Management]
[Human Factors]
The manufacturing systems electives are designed to equip students with the necessary skills and understanding required to succeed in the dynamic world of Manufacturing Systems operations and management.
Manufacturing is the transformation of materials into items of greater value through the performance of processes or assembly tasks. The manufacturing system consists of all the people, processes, technologies, and resources required to accomplish the manufacturing objective. A study of manufacturing systems must include all aspects of the manufacturing enterprise which include: business fuctions, product design, manufacturing planning, production operations, and manufacturing control.
Each student must complete the Industrial Engineering core and nine hours of Industrial Engineering applications. The manufacturing systems electives listed or other electives as approved by the graduate advisor are used to complete the 36-hour MSIE program.
