2. Admission to Master of Science Program in Industrial Engineering (MSIE) 3. Admission to Doctor of Philosophy Program in Industrial Engineering (PhD in IE)
Graduate
study is for students who are superior in intellect, independent in thought,
show initiative in work habits, and are skilled in communication.
Upon completion of the requirements, students should possess a broad
perspective of the profession and its functional relationship to industry and
society together with a strong capability in one or more areas of intensive
study. Graduate
work should be characterized by a high degree of student initiative.
Class assignments and projects are generally made in broad terms,
permitting the student to exercise some self-direction in study.
In addition, the direction of research interest is usually left to the
student, but must be approved by the advisor. This policy allows the student to
mature in initiative and judgment as well as in technical ability.
While the advisor will monitor the student’s program and offer
assistance, it remains the student’s responsibility to meet all the
requirements of the program. This
handbook contains information about the graduate programs in the Industrial and
Systems Engineering (ISE) department at North Carolina A&T State University.
Here you will find admission requirements and descriptions of our degree
programs and options. The
Graduate Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering offers M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees. For the M.S. degree there are four specialization areas: Human-Machine
Systems Engineering, Management Systems Engineering, Production Systems
Engineering, and Operations Research / Systems Analysis. The
M.S. degree requires either 30 credits of coursework and a project or 24 credits
of coursework and 6 credits of thesis research. The Ph.D. degree requires 57
credits of coursework beyond the B.S. degree and 18 credits of dissertation
research. The courses, laboratories, and program requirements are described in
detail in later sections. Most
graduate courses are offered in the evening making it possible to complete a
masters degree program or Ph.D degree while working full-time; for the Ph.D.
degree at least one semester is required as a full time student after course
work has been completed. We offer full or partial financial support to many of
the graduate students in the form of teaching assistantships, research
assistantships, and fellowships. The
current edition of the North Carolina A&T State University Graduate Catalog
contains the university procedures and requirements. Those procedures and requirements pertain to all graduate
work undertaken at the University. It
is the responsibility of each graduate
student to ensure that their graduate program conforms to these
requirements. Additional
information or clarification about the Graduate School requirements can be
obtained from the Office of the Graduate
Studies (122 Gibbs Hall) or by telephone (336)
334-7920. The
graduate program policies outlined in this document apply to graduate degree
programs offered by the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE)
and supplement those policies of the School of Graduate Studies.
It is the responsibility of each graduate student in the Department of
Industrial and System Engineering to ensure that their program of graduate work
conforms to the department's requirements. 2. Admission to Master of
