Industrial Engineering, PhD

The PhD program in industrial engineering engages students in fundamental and applied research. The overall educational objective of graduate study in industrial engineering is to improve each student's ability to identify, define and solve problems and perform original research in order to address the underlying causes of these problems. Industrial engineers develop qualitative and quantitative abilities to guide the design and operation of sustainable organizations and systems. This doctoral program provides students with a rigorous education and with research and educational experiences. A large number of students are involved in applied research projects that are carried out in the context of government or privately funded research. Students have many opportunities to participate in highly impactful research projects and interact with the leaders in the subfield in which they choose to specialize. Many students graduate with significant accomplishments resulting from the work they performed during the course of their doctoral study.
