Industrial & Management Systems Engineering Program Mission

The mission of the undergraduate program in Industrial and Management Systems Engineering is to produce graduates well-grounded in both classical and current industrial engineering and engineering management knowledge and skills consistent with the land-grant mission of MSU.  Graduates will be prepared to be productive citizens and contributors to the economic well-being of employers.

Program Educational Objectives 

Industrial and Management Systems Engineering graduates will:

     I.  Utilize industrial and management systems engineering tools and knowledge in their chosen career paths;

    II.  Employ effective communication with a range of audiences;

   III.  Display effective teamwork when working with persons from diverse backgrounds, disciplines and skill sets;

   IV.  Engage in professional development throughout their careers;

    V.  Contribute to industry and society, including involvement in professional and other service activities

   VI.  Design, manage, improve, and integrate systems across a broad range of organizations; and

  VII.  Participate in ethical leadership in design and operational activities that contribute to their organization and community.

 

Student Outcomes

Students completing the Industrial and Management Systems Engineering program will demonstrate:

(a)  Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems* by applying principles of mathematics, science, and         engineering;
(b)  Develop and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
       apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs;
(d)  function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive               environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
(e)  recognize professional and ethical responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments;
(f)  factor global, economic, environmental, cultural and social considerations into engineering decisions;
(g)  communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
(h)  acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies;
(i)  design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information,
     equipment and energy; and
(j)  identify and evaluate systems used to effectively organize and deploy resources in production, service and other             technological environments.

 

* Complex engineering problems (as defined by ABET) involve conflicting technical issues, diverse stakeholders, multiple interacting components, non-obvious solutions, or significant consequences in a range of contexts.

 

Program Assessment

The IMSE program has a written plan for program assessment, and publishes annual reports of assessment activities and results. These are available upon request by contacting the IMSE Program Coordinator.
