1 ISyE course outside of human factors area:
| ISyE 313 | Engineering Economic Analysis |
| ISyE 315 | Production Planning and Control |
| ISyE 320 | Simulation and Probabilistic Modeling |
| ISyE 321 | Simulation Modeling Laboratory |
| ISyE 323 | Operations Research-Deterministic Modeling |
| ISyE 415 | Introduction to Manufacturing Systems, Design and Analysis |
| Equivalent coursework is acceptable |
| The Human Factors and Ergonomics Program has three specialty areas leading to the MSIE and PhD degrees. The specialty areas include (1) Sociotechnical Systems & Macroergonomics, (2) Ergonomics, and (3) Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health. Human factors graduate students select coursework from each of these areas for the Master's degree and the Doctorate degree. Students who apply for both the MS and PhD degrees will be processed for each degree separately. Acceptance for the MS does not automatically ensure acceptance for the PhD. |

TOOLS AND METHODS (6 cr)
Various courses count as "Tools and Methods." These courses can be categorized. Following are categories of "Tools and Methods" courses and examples of courses in each category. On a yearly basis, the HFE faculty group updates the list of "Tools and Methods" courses. Advisors will decide which set of "Tools and Methods" courses is appropriate for the students.
- RESEARCH METHODS
- STATISTICS
- QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
- BIOMECHANICS METHODS
Please refer to the 'Tools and Methods' list for details.
MS PROJECT or THESIS (3-6 cr)
| | Advanced Independent Study |
| | Master's Research and Thesis |
| All human factors graduate students are required to satisfactorily complete at least three credit hours devoted to directed research, design, development, or application, and prepare a written report covering this work. Students expecting to continue for the PhD degree are encouraged to write a Master's Thesis. The choice of writing a formal thesis or a research report is made between each student and their advisor. |
|
A GPA of 3.20 or above in graduate level courses and 15 credits in the Industrial Engineering Department with at least 30 credits. Graduate students should use the curriculum planning grid for help with their MS program planning and then complete and submit a finalized curriculum form during their final semester of study to the Student Services Office in 3182 Mechanical Engineering Building for confirmation of their graduation requirements. |
