BS Honors/MS Program for Industrial Engineering (BS/MS IE)

The Industrial Engineering Department offers the ladderized B.S. Honors/M.S. Program for qualified Industrial Engineering students who have maintained a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 before their senior level in the BSIE program. The student is expected to obtain both BS and MS degree in 5 years. Students who are accepted in the program are provided one-on-one faculty mentoring with a computer and an office space.

Objectives

• To develop the analytical and learning skills of above average students into graduate level performance.
• To help fast track career opportunities of IE students who have above average performance.
• To help students get a BS and MS degree in a relatively short period of 5 years.
• To address the industry's need of competent and qualified IE practitioners with MS degrees.

Course Description

The BS/MS student needs to take up all the course requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BS IE) and additional courses from the Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE) as shown below:

Additional Courses:

Lean Thinking/Lean Manufacturing
This course contains the principles of lean manufacturing, value stream mapping, waste elimination (muda), and cycle time improvements.

Information Systems Design and Management
This course covers principles on how to design information flows and databases, flowcharting techniques, and new developments in Information Systems.

Service Systems Design and Management
This course covers service-oriented processes such as food, call centers, and other transactional processes. It includes discussions on SERVQUAL and other metrics used for monitoring and measuring service performances, operations research techniques in managing queues, and scheduling.

Six Sigma Quality Systems
This course deals with the concept of six sigma and how it works. It also covers the DMAIIC methodology and important quality tools necessary to complete a six-sigma project such as SPC, DOE, VOC, Gage R and R, Process Capability Analysis, Multi-Variate Analysis, Process Mapping, and many more. The course focuses on linking the quality tools into a structured approach for achieving zero defects.

Inbound and Outbound Logistics
This course covers the principles of a supply chain system and emphasizes on the elements of Inbound and Outbound activities and how to manage the flow of goods and materials. This course also includes discussions on the Extended Supply Chain Model.
