Overview

About the program

The Industrial Engineering graduate faculty at North Carolina State University supports academic and research interests in four areas:

manufacturing systems (manufacturing processes, additive and advanced manufacturing, medical device manufacturing systems, micro/nano manufacturing, robotics, and automation);
production systems (logistics systems, supply chain management, scheduling, inventory control, materials handling, facility design, furniture manufacturing and management, quality control, and engineering economics);
systems analysis and optimization (health systems, stochastic processes, simulation, mathematical programming, and soft computing); and
ergonomics (human performance, occupational safety, and biomechanics). The department faculty actively supports independent graduate degree programs in operations research, integrated manufacturing systems engineering, textile technology and management, and financial mathematics.
