Master in Industrial Engineering

The MIE is a professional degree that will prepare you to excel in a career in industry, government or consulting. It is a terminal degree perfect for self-supported, military, part-time and co-op students. Thus, it is not normal for MIE students to receive assistantship awards.

The graduate faculty of the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering supports academic and research interests in four areas:

manufacturing systems (manufacturing processes, medical device manufacturing systems, CAM, CIM, robotics, automation, rapid prototyping and concurrent engineering),
production systems (logistics systems, supply chain management, scheduling, inventory control, materials handling, facility design, furniture manufacturing and management, quality control, and engineering economics),
systems analysis and optimization (health systems, stochastic processes, simulation, mathematical programming, and soft computing), and
ergonomics (human performance, occupational safety, and biomechanics). The department faculty actively supports independent graduate degree programs in operations research, integrated manufacturing systems engineering, textile technology and management, and financial mathematics.

We accept applications from undergraduate majors in engineering. Degrees in the behavioral, physical and mathematical sciences are also welcomed.Grade Point Average (GPA) in previous academic programs: 3.0/4.0.
