Master of Science in Industrial Engineering & Engineering Management

Overview

The graduate program in Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management draws on LAU’s substantial and growing experience in undergraduate industrial engineering education to provide those coming from other engineering disciplines a significant opportunity to specialize in the management and optimization of engineering systems. This program responds to a national need for engineers that can manage and improve integrated systems of people, materials, information, facilities, and technology.

The graduate program in Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management is essentially a hybrid program that is built by combining specialized knowledge bases leading to a non-traditional interdisciplinary education. The knowledge bases referred to here as concentrations areas consist in part of elective graduate-level courses from Industrial, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering programs, and graduate courses from Computer Science, Economics, Business, and International affairs graduate programs.
