INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING – 2003-05 Catalog
Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Department
Graphic Arts Bldg. (26), Room 100
(805) 756-2341
General Characteristics
The Master of Science program in Industrial Engineering has the following objectives:
· To help California industries in meeting their needs with respect to processes of design, optimization, and re-engineering and in competing globally, by educating and training engineers with advanced practical knowledge in the field of Industrial Engineering.
·
To
attract undergraduate engineers of all majors and provide education in the
planning, engineering, optimization, and management of processes using the
appropriate tools of Industrial Engineering.
· To further the mission and goals of the College of Engineering at Cal Poly with respect to graduate engineering education by maintaining a balance between undergraduate and graduate educational opportunities in engineering that optimally supports the health of California industry.
Each
student is strongly encouraged to work with a particular faculty member in
selecting a thesis topic which is of personal interest to the student and the faculty
member, and to choose a substantial number of elective courses that will
support the issues addressed in the thesis or project.
Prerequisites
Students with earned undergraduate degrees in any engineering major are eligible for admission. A minimum grade point average of 3.0 in the last 90-quarter units (60 semester units) is required for admission.
All
candidates seeking admission to the MSIE program are required to secure a
minimum score in the GRE - General Test, as prescribed by the IME Department.
Program of Study
Graduate
students must file a formal study plan with their advisor, department, college
and the university graduate studies office by no later than the end of the
quarter in which the 12th unit of approved courses is completed. The formal
program of study must include a minimum of 45 units, of which a) at least 23
units must be at the 500 level; b) at least 24 units must be in the degree
major with at least 18 units at the 500 level.
