Engineering
Industrial and operations engineering is
concerned with integrated systems of people, machines, environments and information. Drawing
upon their specialized skills in mathematical, physical, and social sciences (together with
principles and methods of engineering
analysis), industrial and operations engineers
specify, predict, and evaluate systems.
Applications arise in industrial and
manufacturing systems as well as a variety of
nonindustrial settings, ranging from health
care and education to financial and
governmental organizations.
The wide range of tasks an industrial
engineer is called upon to perform requires
knowledge of operations research, ergonomics, management engineering, statistics, manufacturing engineering, and computer
information processing.
The department has well-equipped
laboratories in human performance, industrial
systems, plant flow analysis, quality control, and computation.
In addition to the facilities on campus, the
department has excellent relationships with
various firms within the Ann Arbor-Detroit area
so that students are exposed to actual
operating industrial, service, and other
business systems.
This program is accredited by the
Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET), 111 Market
Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone (410) 347-7700.
