Graduate Program
The Department of
Industrial and Information Engineering offers a graduate program leading
to the Master of Science degree and the Ph.D.
degree with a major in Industrial & information Engineering.
The
Master's Program
Students who enroll in the Master of Science degree may select a concentration
in:
-
industrial
engineering,
- engineering management,
- product development
and manufacturing, or
- manufacturing systems
engineering.
Each of these concentrations,
with the exception of the product development and manufacturing, allows
a student to select either a thesis or non-thesis option. Students who
select the manufacturing systems engineering concentration of the dual
degree program must select the non-thesis option.
The thesis option
requires 27 hours of coursework and 6 hours thesis. The non-thesis option
requires 30 hours of coursework and a 3-hour design project; the engineering
management concentration requires an additional 3 hours.
Industrial Engineering
Concentration:
Depending upon a student's background and career objectives, graduate
work in industrial engineering enables the student to select an area of
specialization from:
- Human Factors Engineering
- Information Systems
Engineering
- Operations Research
- Maintenance and
Reliability Engineering
- General Industrial
Engineering

Engineering Management
Concentration:
The engineering management concentration has an additional admission requirement
of two years' U.S. industrial experience as a practicing engineer or scientist.
This concentration is fully supported off-campus utilizing electronic
media for videotaping and interactive distance teaching methods. Click

Manufacturing Systems
Engineering Concentration:
Under the manufacturing systems engineering concentration, students learn
strategies for improving product quality, implementing various production
strategies, analysis of production planning and scheduling systems, and
supplier and distribution integration. Dual degree students can select
manufacturing systems engineering as an option.
Product Development
and Manufacturing Concentration:
The product development and manufacturing concentration is a non-thesis
option, available only to students taking the dual M.S.-MBA program.
Dual Degree (M.S.
& MBA) Program:
The Colleges of Business Administration and Engineering offer a coordinated
program leading to the conferral of the Master of Science degree with
a major in Industrial Engineering (concentration in manufacturing systems
engineering or product development and manufacturing) and the Master of
Business Administration degree (concentration in operations management).
The dual degree program saves the student one or two semester(s) over
the time that would be required to earn both degrees independently. For
further information, please contact the department.

Minor
in Statistics:
A
minor in statistics under the Intercollegiate Graduate Statistics Program
(IGSP) is available in the Master of Science program with a major in industrial
engineering at the University of Tennessee main campus in Knoxville. Six
semester course hours in approved courses in statistics, in addition to
program core course IE 516 (Statistical Method in Industrial Engineering),
are required to complete the minor. The minor program in statistics is
directed within the department. Students interested in adding this minor
to their graduate program should consult with their major professor.
The
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Program
For the Doctor of Philosophy
(Ph.D.) degree, the student must assume full responsibility for current
knowledge of the policies, procedures, and regulations of The Graduate
School (refer
to the graduate catalog) and the
program requirements and guidelines. For assistance, the student should
see his or her major professor, the Graduate Secretary, and the chairperson
of the graduate committee.
