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.
