M.S. in Industrial Engineering
Program Director
What is Industrial Engineering?
Industrial engineering focuses on reducing wasted resources such as time, money, materials and energy by both designing and optimizing complex processes, systems and organizations. Industrial engineers gain a wide range of skills so they can work in both technical positions and management. They minimize costs and maximize efficiency for the benefit of the companies they work for and the customer.
Master of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering
The Master of Science in Industrial Engineering program is a blend of basic engineering knowledge, management techniques, people management skills, and computer technology integrated with applied mathematics and statistics.
Industrial Engineering students will specialize in learning in lean production, six sigma, supply-chain management, logistics optimization, decision analytics, additive and advanced manufacturing, and robotics.
The 30-hour master’s degree program in Industrial Engineering is open to students with an undergraduate degree in engineering, the physical sciences or mathematics.
The program may be completed in 18 to 24 months. Students with degrees in other areas may be required to take prerequisite course work.
The courses are taught by highly knowledgeable full-time and adjunct faculty with vast industry experience.
Our graduates are employed by a variety of companies, including the following: Boeing, Koch, USAA, Southwest Research Institute, Valero, Zachry, UPS, and Labatt Food.
