Course Descriptions
122. Software Tools: Introduction to application software tools used to solve stochastic and deterministic problems. Problem design and solution will be drawn from IE 220. Co-requisite: IE 220.
215. Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Study of modern production methods. Machining, bulk and sheet metal working processes, and electronics manufacturing. Introduction to automation numerical control, and industrial robots. Prerequisite: MAT 33.
220. Introduction to Operations Research: Introduction to deterministic and stochastic methods in operations research. Topics include: mathematical programming, queuing theory, and other modeling techniques. Emphasis on formulation, analysis and solution of operations problems. Prerequisites: IE 111 or MATH 231.
321. Experimental IE: Experimental projects in selected fields of industrial engineering, approved by the instructor. A written report is required. May be repeated for academic credit.
430. Management Science Project: Analysis of a management problem and design of its solution incorporating management science techniques. An individual written report is required. Recommended to be taken in the last semester of the program.
458/ECO 463. Topics in Game Theory: A mathematical analysis of how people interact in strategic situations. Topics include normal-form and extensive-form representations of games, various types of equilibrium requirements, the existence and characterization of equilibria, and mechanism design. The analysis is applied to micro-economic problems including industrial organization, international trade, and finance. Prerequisites: Two semesters of calculus, ECO 414 and ECO 412, or permission of instructor.
460. Engineering Project: Project work in an area of student and faculty interest. Selection and direction of the project may involve interaction with industry. Prerequisite: consent of department chairperson.
461. Readings: Intensive study of some area of industrial engineering that is not covered in general courses.
