Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering Degree Program
Upon graduation, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, rationalizing , optimizing, and controlling these large-scale sociotechnical systems. You will also supervise the operation of these systems, taking into account such vital factors as quality, throughput, equipment utilization, costs, ecology, energy conservation, reliability, safety, and health.
As an industrial engineer, you will develop performance measures and standards for equipment, workers, and factories to achieve more effective utilization. You will also apply concurrent engineering principles to design manufacturing systems that fulfill the product realization based on the designs of other engineers.
Consequently, the objectives of the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering are to train students to design and analyze manufacturing systems and their associated facilities, to analyze the economic consequences of their engineered designs, to make oral and written presentations of their engineered designs, and to perform their work in an ethical and professional manner.
You will develop good systems design skills throughout the curriculum beginning in the freshman year with ET 280 Engineering and Technology: An Overview, and culminating in the senior year with ISE 440, Industrial Plant Design, where you will complete a design project that simulates work found in professional practice. Also in your senior year, you will complete ISE 445, Systems Design, where you will design a real manufacturing information system, inventory control system, materials handling system, or quality control system for one of the many local industries who participate in our program. In the course of the program, you will also perform the design of software (ET 181 and 240), electrical systems (EE 313 and 314, or 315), workplace systems (ISE 333), mechanical and structural systems (CE 301), discrete event simulation systems (ISE 433), and manufacturing control systems (ISE 432). You will also perform additional systems design in the electives you choose for your concentration option as described below.
Courses in the first two years of the program are similar to the curricula of other engineering disciplines and provide the necessary foundation in basic subjects upon which advanced engineering work depends. The last two years of work provide the professional-level material, including instruction in computer applications necessary for the interdisciplinary engineering activities that are required of the modern industrial or manufacturing systems engineer. During the junior and senior years, you will take courses in the ISE concentration areas that are closest to your career goals. If you wish to increase the breadth or depth of your knowledge, the department offers courses leading to the M.S.I.S.E. and participates in the college's integrated Ph.D. degree program.
Industrial and manufacturing systems engineers follow careers in many fields, including manufacturing, transportation, government, banking, insurance, and hospitals. Because of their systems training and experience, most industrial and manufacturing systems engineers move into management positions after a few years on the job. Salaries are excellent and jobs are plentiful. Because of the increasing need for the U.S. to improve productivity to meet international competition, the need for industrial and manufacturing systems engineers in manufacturing and other organizations will remain high.
