Industrial Engineering391Minimum credit hour requirements are 24 hours of acceptable coursework and 6 hoursof thesis research under Plan I, or 33 hours under Plan II. In all cases, the student’ssupervisory committee determines which courses are required, which courses are acceptable,and any permissible substitution or exceptions. Other general degree requirementsare as follows:1. Six hours of mathematics are required in addition to the minimum College of Engineeringrequirements, either during undergraduate or graduate study. In industrialengineering, these requirements are typically met by taking 6 hours of either operationsresearch or engineering statistics courses with IE designations. In particular, GES 500Engineering Statistics and GES 501 Operations Research, taken as remedial pre req -ui site courses, will constitute the 6 hours in mathematics even though they may not becounted toward the minimum hours required to graduate.2. As detailed above, each student must satisfy the M.S.I.E. prerequisite requirements.3. Major requirements: 18 hours of 500-level IE courses, which are in an area(s)approved by the supervisory committee. Six of these hours may be IE 599 Master’sThesis Research under Plan I. Hours earned in IE 598 Research Not Related to Thesismay not be used to satisfy the major re quire ments, but do count in the 33 hours totalfor Plan II students.4. Six hours of graduate-level courses in a minor approved by the student's committee.Minors outside the department are acceptable, with the approval of the student's committee.Note that courses taken as part of the 6 hours for the minor cannot be countedin the 18 hours of major requirements.5. Six hours of thesis research (IE 599) under Plan I, or 3–6 hours of nonthesis research(IE 598) under Plan II. (More than 6 hours of thesis or nonthesis research maybe scheduled, but a maximum of 6 hours can be applied toward the M.S.I.E. degree.)Under Plan I, a thesis is produced that must meet all standards set forth by the GraduateSchool. Under Plan II, a research report is produced which is to be of the style and qualityof a thesis but is not reviewed for acceptability beyond the examining committee. The6 hours for thesis research should be distributed over two semesters, or one semesterand the summer terms. The department encourages, but does not require, a 6-hour efforton nonthesis research. If 6 hours of nonthesis research are conducted, these hours arenormally distributed over two semesters, but under exceptional circumstances and withapproval of the supervisory committee, a student may take 6 hours in one semester orduring two consecutive summer terms.6. Six hours of approved electives under Plan I or 9 hours of approved electivesunder Plan II.7. A student must enroll in the one-hour-per-week IE 595 Seminar each semester inwhich he or she is enrolled, except the semester in which he or she plans to graduate.That semester, the student enrolls in IE 596 Seminar for 1 hour’s credit. This seminaris an important part of the development of the student into a professional industrialengineer. It also promotes camaraderie among IE graduate students. At ten dance andparticipation are mandatory.Course DescriptionsIE 415 Advanced Engineering Economics.
