Master of Science [M.S] [Industrial Engineering] From Clemson University

Graduates will demonstrate the ability to apply the principles and techniques of industrial engineering analysis and design supported by a foundation in mathematical, physical and social sciences, and economic, operational, and engineering analyses. Graduates will possess a breadth of knowledge that allows them to practice industrial engineering with an appropriate awareness of information issues in systems improvement. In addition, graduates are able to work and communicate effectively with colleagues at every level in the organization.

One traditional arena for the implementation of industrial engineering is within manufacturing facilities; however, many practicing industrial engineers are employed in non-manufacturing institutions. The list of such possibilities is quite broad, including hospitals, banks, railroads, airlines, management consulting firms and government agencies. In addition to numerous employment opportunities in professional practice, industrial engineering graduates may further their formal education.
