Description
The Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering (MS ISE) degree is offered through the School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE). The MS ISE degree provides the balance of theory and practical knowledge for the practice of the profession and/or for advancement to a doctoral program. In recognition of the high concentration of industry in the Binghamton area, this program has been structured to serve both full-time and part-time graduate students. Taking advantage of this industrial resource allows the program to develop a realistic approach to integrating both engineering and non-engineering systems, such as those found in manufacturing, healthcare, supply chain management, and transportation, using a wide variety of industrial and systems engineering tools, such as modeling and simulation, statistical process control, advanced data science and analytics (including machine learning and artificial intelligence), reliability modeling, scheduling, human factors engineering and ergonomics, energy, environmental studies, optimization, and engineering management, among others.
