Master of Science
in Industrial Engineering
A total of 32 graduate hours is required for the thesis option including 24 hours of formal graded coursework and 8 hours of IE 599. Of the 24 hours of formal graded coursework in the thesis option, 8 hours must be at the 500 level with 4 of these hours in the major field. No more than 8 hours of IE 599 credit can be applied towards the degree. For those students terminating their studies with the MS degree, a non-thesis option is also available upon consent of the advisor and approval by departmental petition. Those pursuing the non-thesis option are required to complete a minimum of 36 graduate hours including 32 hours of formal graded coursework and 4 hours of IE 597−Independent Study (4 hours maximum allowed towards the MS degree), since each student is required to show evidence of the ability to do independent research. Of the 32 hours of formal graded coursework in the non-thesis option, 8 hours must be at the 500 level with 4 of these hours in the major field. Continuous registration is required in IE 590−Graduate Seminar, throughout the Master’s program. Also as part of the requirements to obtain the MS degree, students should register for, and take, MSE 492−Fundamentals of Laboratory Safety. Credit obtained in this course may not be used toward a degree.
A Computational Science and Engineering option is available with this degree program.
