* Core professional curriculum. A student must have a minimum grade-point average of 2.00 in this group of courses in order to graduate.

¹These electives are to be chosen from department-authorized lists with advance approval.

²These social sciences and humanities (SSH) electives must be chosen from a department-approved list and must include at least one 6-credit sequence of prerequisite or related courses. At least 6 credits of 200 level or above electives must be included.

³The IMSE curriculum provides students with the opportunity to obtain depth in a topic area of their choice. Two courses, selected from a department-approved list, must be taken from one of the following areas:.

Operations Research
which is concerned with the design and analysis of quantitative models and methods having applications in production and service systems such as inventory control, scheduling, transportation, and logistics.

Manufacturing
which is concerned with the design, analysis, operation, and control of manufacturing processes and systems.

Human Factors
which is concerned with the relationships between people and their work tasks, machines, information, and environment.

Enterprise Computing and Information Management: which is concerned with the integration of information within the functional units of an enterprise as well as between multiple enterprises.

Engineering Management
which is concerned with the strategies necessary for solving internal and external problems of a company in areas such as production, quality, project management, sales, and marketing strategies.

General
for students who did not want to specialize in any of the four focus areas above, can choose to combine electives from a number of areas.
