Master of Science in Industrial Engineering - Engineering Management

Academic rigor and professional flexibility define our MSIE programs. The Department offers a Thesis and Non-Thesis Option for its MSIE Degree, as well as a specialized program (Specialization in Engineering Management) to meet the needs of its diverse student body. All MSIE programs integrate a strong theoretical foundation, hands-on experience and one-on-one mentorship from leading faculty and industry professionals.Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline that encompasses education and basicapplied research concerning the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment, and energy. Graduate instruction and research are broadly grouped into three categories: manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, and industrial systems. Current research interests include manufacturing processes and systems; statistical; quality control; failure and life cycle analysis; mathematical optimization of complex production systems; condition monitoring; reliability engineering; statistical machine learning; distributed sensor networks; manufacturing process monitoring and diagnosis; set-covering theory; simulation environments; polymeric materials; nanomaterials processing and applications; additive thin-film manufacturing; printed electronics; carbon nanotube based functional materials; advanced composites and multi-scale materials; simulation for material processing; composite material processing. The department offers a variety of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE) program options to accommodate students' needs and specializations. Students may pursue a traditional MS or an MS with specialization in engineering management. The traditional MS program is research based, requiring the students to write and defend a thesis in their chosen area. However, the Master of Science with specialization in engineering management (MSIE-EM) does not require a thesis. The department also offers a BS-MS combined pathway, which provides students with a unique opportunity to complete graduate education on an accelerated schedule. Additionally, the department offers an MS in Systems Engineering (MSSE), a course-based, non-thesis degree designed for both full-time students and full-time working professionals. The Industrial Engineering Graduate Handbook, which is available from the department, provides a complete description of all programs and requirements.

BS Degree in Industrial Engineering, science or mathematics from an accredited college or university.An upper-division grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.4 on a 4.0 scale.The GRE requirement has been waived (and extended) for all engineering master’s applicants through Fall 2026.CV/Resume - Information should be current.Statement of Purpose – Outlining your research and career goals. We want to know how your background and prior training make you the right candidate and why FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is a good fit for you. Three Letters of Recommendation – Three signed letters of recommendation on official letterheads, from academic or professionals who can comment on the academic and research potential of the applicant.Credit RequirementsInternational Credit Requirements — International applicants or degrees earned from international institutions must submit official transcripts through a NACES approved evaluator. We recommend using SpanTran for your course-by-course evaluation. We are unable to review applications with unofficial transcripts from international institutions. The University will not waive this requirement.
