M.Eng. in Industrial Engineering
Texas A&M's Master of Engineering in Industrial Engineering is an industry-oriented program designed for students holding a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering.
The M.Eng. in Industrial Engineering distance learning program was developed to give engineers currently employed within industry the opportunity to pursue a graduate engineering degree while still working full time for their respective company.
The distance learning curriculum in this program consists of the following courses (all courses are 3 hours):
- INEN 625 – Simulation Methods and Applications
- INEN 627 – Engineering Analysis for Decision Making
- INEN 663 – Engineering Management Control Systems
- INEN 667 – Engineering Economy
Electives: (may choose 9 hours)
- INEN 608 –Industrial Case Analysis
- INEN 616 – Design and Analysis of Industrial Experiments
- INEN 630 – Human Operator in Complex Systems
- INEN 654 – Manufacturing Systems Planning and Analysis
Directed Studies or Internship: (must take 3 hours)
- INEN 685 – Directed Studies
- INEN 691 - Internship
Additional course work:
- 12 hours of course work outside the major field of study.
Program Description
The Master of Engineering (Industrial Engineering) degree is intended to support distance learning (DL) students who are unable to pursue graduate level education on-campus. Courses can simultaneously interface with existing on-campus Industrial Engineering masters degree programs. This degree plan contains a common set of courses with the M.S. in Engineering Systems Management and will consist of courses that are part of the existing inventory of graduate courses currently offered within the department.
Applicants must present a minimum of two years of post-undergraduate work/military experience along with letters of recommendation and a statement of career goals.
Program Objectives
Both degree plans will consist of a minimum of 36-40 semester hours of graduate-level course work that can be earned either totally or in part by distance education media. The purpose of the program is to provide an avenue for students to advance their technical and managerial knowledge to advance their potential to assume future positions of leadership and while simultaneously remaining in the workforce.
