ISE 3200WORK ANALYSIS AND DESIGN3
Introduction to standards, methods, and work design analysis to improve productivity – a broad introduction to industrial and Systems Engineering. Application of methods/tools such as workflow, layouts, time studies, motion analysis, work sampling, and learning curves to evaluate current conditions and offer improvements to increase productivity in various industries. The course includes a one-and- half hour design laboratory each week in addition to three hours of lecture. Offered: fall
Broad overview of modeling operation research systems. Topics discussed include network models, dynamic programming, Markov chains, queueing models, and inventory theory. Cross-listed with MAT 3300 Offered: fall
This course will focus on the use of mathematical models to support sound decision-making. It provides students with sufficient understanding and ability of mathematical programming: theory and applications. Students will learn how to formulate and solve real-world decision problems that arise in manufacturing and service systems with linear programming theory and applications, simplex algorithm, big M method, duality and sensitivity analysis including transportation, assignment, and other applicable problems.
Study and application of ergonomic design principles in various workplace environments and product development to examine how human capabilities and limitations may affect workplace design and productivity. Emphasis will be on physiological and psychological fundamentals of safety evaluation and product development including environmental factors, manual materials handling, human-computer interfaces, and anthropometric measurements. The design of occupational safety systems and programs will also be discussed. Offered: spring
Broad overview of the principles involved in product design and manufacturing with a detailed examination of the engineering design process. The student will gain an understanding of product engineering from conception to market including customer specifications, systematically evaluating alternatives (e.g., TRIZ, optimization techniques), manufacturing considerations (e.g., material selection, production requirements), and appropriate pre-market testing.

This course will introduce a framework to implement improvements within an enterprise. Lean manufacturing/service focuses on improving the speed of a process and the elimination of waste, primarily by eliminating non-value-added steps. Six Sigma deals with the effectiveness with which a process meets customer requirements. The students will apply the concepts of facilities design through integrating the concepts, terminology, and tools of Lean enterprise and Six Sigma. This course addresses some of the important issues involved with the planning, development, and implementation of Lean principles and their application primarily to health care.
Broad overview of the principles related to project, technology, and facilities management. The student will study problems confronting the engineer manager including project monitoring, project control, time management, cost management, risk management, and facilities layout. How globalization and culture may alter engineering management decisions will also be discussed. The student will learn to use CPM, PERT, and GERT for planning, managing, and controlling projects. Offered: fall
Analyzing, designing, and improving new and existing human-made systems from an engineering standpoint. Students will gain an understanding of how all parts of the system interact and examine points of potential failure. Macroergonomics (how personnel, technology, and environmental factors influence systems and organizations) will also be included. Offered: fall
Exploration, in detail, of statistical design and analysis of experiments in engineering and science. The student will gain an understanding of developing experimental models and experimental designs using the analysis of variance. Students will learn how to plan, design, and conduct experiments efficiently and effectively. Computer software packages to implement the methods will be illustrated.
Data Mining is the process of finding meaningful new correlations, patterns, trends and rules by sifting through large amounts of data using pattern recognition, statistical, and mathematical techniques. Challenges include the interpretation of data and the knowledge of appropriate tools. This course presents topics in data analysis from an industrial engineering and production systems perspective. Manufacturing and service industries accumulate vast amounts of data in order to track inventory, quality problems and overall production. These data contain embedded information and system knowledge that can be extracted or mined. Statistical software will be used in this course. instructor Cross-listed with DSC 4410
ISE 4990INDEPENDENT STUDY IN INDUSTRIAL & SYSTEMS ENGINEERING1-4
An opportunity for a well-qualified, upper-division student to engage in special research in his/her major. college dean before approval by the Provost. Credit hours to be determined. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (B.S.) Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is a field that studies and implements laws, rules, regulations, professional programs, and workplace efforts to protect the general well-being and health and safety of the general public and employees in the workplace as well as preserve the environment. EHS professionals are active in a variety of industries and have a direct impact on the operations and activities of the organizations and communities with which they work. The Environmental Health and Safety program provides fundamental knowledge of environmental science, pollution control and management, occupational and workplace safety, regulatory management and analysis, and program implementation and management that informs and affects the day-to-day operations of companies and individuals alike. Students learn through hands-on instruction, visits to local entities for first-hand perspective of EHS operations in action, practical application, and project-based work that makes use of current events and historical precedent. Graduates are prepared for practice as an EHS professional in both the public and private sector for industries such as manufacturing, construction, healthcare, entertainment, and retail, or to continue studies at the graduate level. Regardless of career path, all graduates possess the necessary critical-thinking, communication, and technical skills to serve as leaders in the industries and communities to which they belong. Graduates of the Methodist University Environmental Health and Safety Program will demonstrate: • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve broadly defined technical or scientific problems by applying knowledge of mathematics and science and/or technical topics to areas relevant to the discipline. • An ability to formulate or design a system, process, procedure or program to meet desired needs. • An ability to develop and conduct experiments to test hypotheses, analyze and interpret data, and use scientific judgement to draw conclusions. • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
