M.S. in Manufacturing Systems Engineering
Academic Advisor: Sanchoy K. Das
The MS program in Manufacturing Systems Engineering is designed to train and educate professionals for successful careers by providing them with skills in the areas of supply chain modeling and analysis, automation and computerized process control, planning and design of industrial process operations, advanced economic analysis and project management and implementation.
Degree Requirements
Students with a B.S. degree in an engineering, information technology, operations management or related technical degree may apply for admission. Other students may be admitted and required to complete the bridge program. Bridge courses do not count toward degree requirements. Bridge courses range between 3 to 9 credits and are selected by the advisor when the student is admitted.
A minimum of 30 credits beyond a baccalaureate degree is required. Students select an area of specialization and individually design their programs in consultation with the graduate advisor. A master's project/Thesis is optional and faculty advisor approval must be obtained by students before they are permitted to register for Master’s Project/Thesis IE 700/701.
