The faculty members in the school of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering are evenly divided among three subdisciplines: mathematical programming, applied probability and statistics, and manufacturing systems engineering. Several are also consultants to industrial organizations, and research is often conducted directly with a cooperating company, (e.g. in automotive or semiconductor manufacturing).
The Master of Engineering program is a one-year professional degree that stresses applications of operations research and industrial engineering and requires completion of a project. Students can select special options in manufacturing or financial engineering. Most graduates work for companies that specialize in manufacturing or logistics, consulting, financial services, information technologies, or transportation.
Ph.D. students are encouraged to select at least one minor subject outside of operations research; typical choices are computer science, econometrics, environmental systems engineering, managerial economics, mathematics, and hotel or business administration. Graduating students have gone to both academic and industrial positions.
