 Return to: Programs of Study
Program Description
.The combined B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering/M.S. in Industrial and Human Factors Engineering Program allows students to earn a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering and a M.S. in Industrial and Human Factors Engineering in 5 years. Up to 9 semester credit hours of graduate courses at the IHE 6000/7000 level may be double-counted and applied to both the B.S. and M.S. degree requirements.
Admission Requirements
- Completion of at least 75 semester credit hours toward the B.S. degree
- Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3
- No grade lower than a B in any engineering course prior to admission into the combined degree program
- To apply, complete the combined B.S./M.S. degree program application and a graduate program of study
B.S. Program Educational Objectives
Wright State's ISE program will produce industrial and systems engineers who will:
- Engage in a career path in ISE or a related field
- Participate in life-long learning through continuing professional education
- Work in a team environment and communicate effectively, both in written form and orally
B.S. Program Learning Outcomes
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
M.S. Program Learning Outcomes
Student will be able to:
- Apply techniques and tools for the design and implementation of industrial systems, incorporating human factors principles;
- Communicate effectively in written and oral form, at a high level of knowledge;
- Work in teams
