Industrial and ManufacturingSystems Engineering
Industrial and manuacturing systems engineers
design, analyze and improve production systems.
Where other engineers design products, IEs
design processes to make goods and provide
services. They work with people at all levels o an
organization and are more business- and people-
oriented than other engineers.
A good product design is just one element
o a successul business. To be successul, anorganization must choose the right materials, have
the right mix o properly trained people, and use
appropriate technology and the best methods to
produce the highest quality goods and services at
the lowest possible cost.
IEs use computers, mathematics, science, problem
solving and engineering skills to solve complex
business problems. They work in manuacturing,
health care, transportation, inancial organizations,
communications, government, military and
consulting.
Career opportunitiesIE graduates are in demand by Kansas, Midwestern,national and international organizations. Most
students have job oers beore they graduate.
Some companies that have recruited our graduates
in the past ew years include Accenture, Altec
Industries Inc., Becton, Dickinson and Company,
Black & Veatch, Blue Cross and Blue Shield,
Caterpillar, Cerner, Cessna, ConAgra Foods, Deloitte
Consulting LLP, ExxonMobil, General Electric,
General Mills, Halliburton, Hormel Food, Honeywell,
IBM, JCPenney, John Deere, Koch Industries,
Lockheed Martin, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble,
Raytheon, Reinke Manuacturing, Sprint, Burlington
Northern-Santa Fe Railway, United Parcel Service,
and Yellow Transportation.
The average annual starting salary or IMSE
graduates is more than $60,000. Because o their
ability to see systemwide problems and solutions,
graduates move quickly into management
positions.
IMSE curriculumThe industrial engineering curriculum is based on
a strong background in mathematics and science.
In our curriculum, the irst two academic years
are used to build the knowledge and experience
base necessary or our students to learn and
apply undamental engineering concepts and
principles. Courses within the major are a blend o
engineering, management and business topics. Ourcourses are taught almost exclusively by aculty.
IE class size is typically ewer than 30 students.
We emphasize teamwork and group projects in
our learning experience that help develop skills
necessary or success in todays work environment.
Areas of specializationStudents may choose an area o emphasis in any
areas listed below by selecting appropriate IMSE
electives.
Engineering management
The management o engineering or highly
technical organizations and eective resourceutilization. Includes the management o money,
people and equipment.
Ergonomics
The study o human characteristics or the
appropriate design o tools, devices, equipment,
machines, controls, workstations and environment
to minimize human operator stress and atigue and
improve productivity.
Manufacturing engineering
The design, analysis and implementation o
systems to manuacture products.
Operations research
The application o mathematical models to analyzecomplex problems and develop optimum solutions.
MinorA minor in manuacturing systems is also available.
It requires 16 credit hours: our core courses and at
least one course rom the manuacturing systems
elective course list. A course list is available in the
online catalog at www.catalog.k-state.edu. Look
under the College o Engineering.
Concurrent B.S./M.S.The industrial engineering department oers a
concurrent B.S./M.S. degree program in which
high-perorming students can earn bachelors and
masters degrees at the same time. Students choose
between completing a thesis or pursuing a course
work-only option.
To apply or the program, the student must havea cumulative GPA o at least 3.25 ater having
completed 80 credit hours toward the industrial
engineering degree. Graduates typically complete
both degrees in about one calendar year beyond
the time it would take to complete the bachelors
alone. Interested students should contact the
department head or additional inormation.
Student activitiesAll students are encouraged to join the student
chapters o the Institute o Industrial Engineers
and/or the Society o Manuacturing Engineers.
The student chapters organize a number o
activities promoting academic and social
interaction between the members. The chapters
host ield trips, student/aculty picnics and mentor
day; organize displays at K-States Open House; and
participate at the Technical Paper Conerence and
other interesting activities.
