Manufacturing Analytics Engineering
The program may be completed entirely on campus, entirely online, or through a combination of on-campus and online courses.
Admission
Admission to the program requires a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering or a physical science from an accredited program with an average of B or better (GPA of 3.0 on a 4-point scale).
Students who do not meet BS degree requirements of the program should speak to the program advisor regarding the additional requirements to be met.
Course Prerequisites
- Course in probability and statistics (IMSE 510, Probability and Statistical Models or equivalent). The IMSE 510 requirements can be completed after admission into the program and will count as an elective toward the 30-credit degree requirement.
- Course in engineering materials (ENGR 250 or equivalent). No credit will be given for the ENGR 250.
Degree Requirements
The MSE in Manufacturing Analytics Engineering requires a minimum of 30 credit hours.
Minimum Grade Requirement in addition to maintaining a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher every semester:
- Courses in which grades of C- or below are earned cannot be used to fulfill degree requirements.
- A minimum of a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher is required at the time of graduation.
