This program in Systems Engineering concentrates on the industrial and systems engineering courses that cover the science and technologies of decision making in a complex world in order to optimize the overall system rather than any one subsystem. Systems engineering is concerned with improving the decision-making process by utilizing statistics, simulation, optimization, and computer science skills to enhance the design, control, operation, and understanding of systems. This discipline has shown rapid growth in both its development and recognition as a distinct field of engineering. Systems Engineering skills are becoming increasingly important within the local, industrial community as an aid to management seeking to respond to increasing competitive pressures. The program has flexibility in order to allow students to focus their course of study on various application domains. These application domains have common needs in many areas of systems engineering, but some unique ones as well.... [-]

The master of engineering degree in microelectronics manufacturing engineering provides a broad-based education to students with a bachelor’s degree in traditional engineering or science disciplines who are interested in a career in the semiconductor industry.

Graduates of the program will: design and understand a sequence of processing steps to fabricate a solid state device to meet a set of target parameters; analyze experimental electrical data from a solid state device to extract performance parameters used in the device design; understand current lithographic materials, processes, and systems to meet imaging and device patterning requirements; understand the relevance of a process or device to current manufacturing practices; perform in a microelectronic manufacturing environment in an area of specialization, such as device engineering, circuit design, lithography, materials and processes, yield enhancement, and manufacturing....

Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering is a post-baccalaureate internship program leading to the professional degree of master of engineering. The objective of the program is to provide the engineering BS graduate the means for earning a terminal master’s degree. The capstone experience for the master of engineering degree may be a course design project, a well-organized and carefully chosen industrial internship, or an independent study project in place of the conventional thesis requirement of an MS degree.

This master’s degree is particularly well-suited to students who wish to study part-time, those interested in updating their technical skills, and those not focused on a research-oriented master of science thesis.The program consists of core courses (12 credit hours), concentration courses (16 credit hours), and elective courses (20 credit hours)....

The master of engineering in industrial engineering focuses on the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment, and energy. The program emphasizes specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, computer, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design. The overarching goal of industrial engineering is the optimization of the system, regardless of whether the activity engaged in is a manufacturing, distribution, or a service-related capacity. The student graduates with a variety of skills in the areas of applied statistics/quality, ergonomics/human factors, operations research/simulation, manufacturing, and systems engineering.This degree will allow a student to gain breadth across several different areas or focus on one area within IE....

The Master of Engineering in Engineering Management program uses a blend of ISE courses and courses from the College of Business to focus on the management of the engineering and technological enterprise. It combines technological expertise with managerial skills.

Engineering Management is concerned with understanding the technology involved in an engineering project and the management process through which the technology is applied. This concentration deals with the dual role of the engineering manager; both as a technologist and a manager. The object is to provide a background in areas commonly needed in this role, such as organizational behavior, finance, and accounting, in addition to industrial engineering expertise. Each student should develop a program of study in conjunction with their advisor, that contains up to four courses from the College of Business to complement the engineering coursework.... [-]
