Program Overview
MSOE’s Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering is an application-oriented program designed to prepare students to optimize complex systems involving people, processes, technology, and resources. Industrial engineers from MSOE are equipped to solve real-world operational challenges in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and service industries. The program blends systems thinking, data analytics, process design, and engineering management to produce professionals capable of improving efficiency, quality, and productivity across various sectors. With strong technical foundations and industry-focused training, MSOE industrial engineering graduates are known for their ability to lead continuous improvement initiatives and data-driven decision-making in dynamic environments.
STEM-designated: The B.S. in Industrial Engineering at MSOE carries the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) designation, highlighting the program’s technical rigor and emphasis on analytical problem-solving. This designation is also beneficial for international students seeking extended Optional Practical Training (OPT), offering a 24-month STEM extension that enhances employability in U.S.-based engineering and manufacturing firms.
Curriculum: The curriculum is structured to provide students with expertise in operations research, systems engineering, simulation, quality control, and human factors. Core topics include engineering statistics, work design, lean systems, Six Sigma, facilities planning, and production systems. Students also gain proficiency in tools such as MATLAB, Excel VBA, Arena Simulation, and industrial ERP software. MSOE’s trimester-based academic calendar accelerates learning and integrates theory with real-world application through lab-intensive courses. The capstone senior design project challenges students to solve industry-based problems using advanced methodologies in data analysis, system modeling, and process optimization—preparing them for immediate impact in the workplace.
Research Focus: While MSOE is known for undergraduate excellence, its Industrial Engineering program offers applied research opportunities through faculty-led projects and the university’s Applied Technology Center (ATC). Students participate in initiatives related to operations analytics, supply chain modeling, healthcare systems engineering, and sustainable manufacturing. Through the Academic Undergraduate Research (AUR) program, students collaborate on real-world research that addresses contemporary industrial challenges, building technical depth and communication skills valued in both industry and graduate-level studies.
Industry Engagement: MSOE’s strong relationships with regional and national employers—including Rockwell Automation, Harley-Davidson, GE Healthcare, Johnson Controls, and Briggs & Stratton—provide students with unmatched access to internships, co-ops, and employer-sponsored projects. Frequent guest lectures, career fairs, company tours, and mentorship opportunities allow students to stay current with industry practices and technologies. These partnerships also influence curriculum development to ensure alignment with evolving industry needs, particularly in areas such as lean manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and digital transformation.
Global Perspective: MSOE’s Industrial Engineering program incorporates a global outlook by addressing international production systems, global supply chains, and cross-cultural workforce management. Students explore case studies and standards relevant to global manufacturing and logistics, with an emphasis on sustainable engineering and ethical operations. Study abroad options and international collaborations help students develop intercultural competence and prepare them for careers in multinational corporations and global consulting firms. The curriculum also emphasizes the importance of adaptability, communication, and leadership in diverse, cross-functional teams.
