The MSIE program allows specialization in any of three areas: Human Factors/Ergonomics, Integrated Manufacturing, and Operations Research/Systems Engineering. The graduate faculty in the department are actively engaged in research activities in the areas of human-computer interaction (HCI), occupational bio-mechanics, queuing modeling, concurrent engineering, applied AI/Expert systems, manufacturing systems design, computer simulation, production planning and control, knowledge derivation, and quality engineering.
The department operates various laboratories, each equipped with up-to-date teaching and research facilities. The Industrial Information Systems and the Computer Simulation Modeling Laboratories are equipped with an array of networked microcomputers which are loaded with OR, simulation, database, statistics, and other modeling software packages. The department has two centers to foster industry partnerships and basic and applied research: the Manufacturing Research Center (MRC)and the Center for Applied Research in Industrial and Systems Engineering (ARISE).
Application Requirements: Admission to the Information Systems Track is competitive. The student must meet all University graduate admission requirements. In addition, he or she must have: Bachelor of Science degree in engineering or a closely related field from an accredited institution. Minimum of "B" average (GPA: 3.0) in all upper level course work. Minimum score of 1,000 on the Graduate Record Examination (verbal and quantitative combined). Additional Requirements for International Students: In addition to the above criteria, foreign students whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and obtain a score of 550 on the written exam or 317 on the computerized version.
