The Master of Science (M.S.) degree may be pursued with a concentration in production systems, operations research, or human factors. Students may pursue this degree by taking the C-Exam (all courses option) or by completing a M.S. thesis, which is research driven and knowledge creation focused. There is a newly established M.S. degree program in Industrial Engineering, which is also based on ten courses only. The Master of Engineering degree program focuses on production management. It requires eight (8) courses and a 6-credit Master of Engineering project. The project is applications driven and value creation focused. The Master of Engineering degree is suitable for students who, upon completion, wish to practice engineering in industry and aspire to become managers/leaders in production, supply chains and other engineering fields.
