Catalog Full Description
The Department of General and Industrial Engineering offers advanced studies leading to the degree of Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering (MSISE). The goals of the MSISE program are to prepare graduates with breadth across the discipline of industrial and systems engineering (ISE) and depth in data analysis and modeling. This focus serves the needs of Tennessee employers for both industrial and systems engineers and operations research analysts, occupations that have been identified as “in-demand” in Tennessee.
The program accommodates students who have earned a Bachelor of Science in any accredited engineering degree program or a similar course of study. The MSISE degree prepares graduates to apply advanced engineering data analysis and modeling skills and knowledge in industry or in advanced studies towards the Ph.D. The MSISE degree program can be pursued with either a thesis option or a non-thesis option. Faculty advisors assist graduate students in developing individual programs of study depending on their career goals and research interests. The student's advisory committee assists the student in the development and execution of the program of study and monitors and evaluates the student's work towards the degree.
