Learn the Strategic Side of Systems Engineering
The College of Engineering at Illinois is among the world's most prestigious and largest engineering institutions, with graduate programs rated among the top five nationally. Our newly expanded department is building a powerhouse in industrial and enterprise systems engineering. Two M.S. and Ph.D. programs are offered:
The IE program is based in advanced studies that focus on operations research, optimization, supply chain management, financial engineering, quality and reliability engineering and production management, with the aim to advance modeling, simulation, analysis and decision making for complex engineering systems. The SEE program is founded on the premise of dual competency in both traditional engineering and in the business side of engineering. The SEE program offers flexibility by permitting the student to select from a menu of advanced courses and take a wide range of electives to meet individual career goals. Graduates of these programs are prepared to enter professional engineering positions in industry, government, and private practice. A joint MSIESE/MBA program allows the student to earn both the Master of Science in SEE or IE and the MBA degrees.
Graduates of the Department of Industrial & Enterprise Systems Engineering are leaders in large scale systems design, logistics, and decision making. A sampling of possible research topics include:
- Control and performance evaluation of systems
- Data-mining and system identification
- Financial engineering
- Environmentally sustainable design
- Game theory and equilibrium programming
- Large scale optimization methods and applications
- Optimal product design and development
- Supply chain and revenue management
- Decision analysis
- Stochastic algorithms
- Non-destructive systems evaluation
- Organization behavior
