Industrial Engineering - Mississippi State University

Industrial Engineering from Mississippi State University is a Campus Master Industrial Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers the Master of Science (Industrial Engineering), with both thesis and non-thesis options. The M.S. (Thesis Option) is a research-oriented degree , and serves to prepare students for positions in industry or government or for further graduate study in industrial and systems engineering or related areas. The M.S. (Non-Thesis Option) is designed to prepare students for positions in business and industry that require a graduate education. Major areas of study are: industrial systems, operations research, manufacturing systems, management systems engineering , and human factors and ergonomics. Concentration Options For both the thesis and non-thesis options, the following concentration options are available: 1. Industrial Systems 2. Operations Research 3. Management Systems Engineering 4. Manufacturing Systems 5. Human Factors and Ergonomics (1) INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS This option prepares the student for general ISE work. It is designed to allow the student a high degree of flexibility in selecting a program that meets his/her needs. For example, the student might choose to specialize in one or more areas of ISE (e.g., human factors engineering, quality engineering , etc.), or choose a very broad program covering several ISE fields. (2) OPERATIONS RESEARCH This concentration option is designed for the student who wish to develop skills in the use of Operations Research (OR) for systems analysis and design. (3) MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ENGINEERING This concentration option is designed for the student who wishes to increase his/her understanding and capability in the engineering management area. The philosophy behind this option is that students can be provided with knowledge that will enable them to apply an engineering approach to problems involved in the design and operation of management systems. A student electing this specialization would normally expect to move into a career in management following an initial assignment as an engineer or management trainee. (4) MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS This concentration option is designed for the student who wishes further work in the design, analysis, and control of manufacturing systems. (5) HUMAN FACTORS AND ERGONOMICS This concentration option is designed for the student who wishes to develop skills in Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE). Students in this option will be exposed to both a breadth and depth of HFE principals and practices. View more details on Mississippi State University .
