DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

AND OPERATIONS RESEARCH

Master of Science in Industrial Engineering

1.0PROGRAM OF STUDY

Industrial Engineering is the application of engineering methods and the principles of scientific

management to industrial systems. Industrial systems take an expanded meaning here to mean notonly manufacturing activities but service-oriented operations such as those undertaken by

hospitals, transportation companies, etc., as well. It is concerned with the design, improvement,

and installation of integrated systems of men, materials, and equipment facilities, drawing uponspecialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with

principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the

results to be obtained from such systems.

The Industrial Engineering Program at the University of the Philippines puts emphasis on matters

of fundamental nature. This is aimed at providing a sound foundation in science and engineering

in preparation for further progress in a professional engineering career.

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research offers two programs namely:

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.The baccalaureate program is a five-year full-time program. The masters program offers

specialization in the areas of production systems, operations research, information systems, or

human factors and ergonomics.

2.0MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research offers a graduate programleading to the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE). Applicants to the

graduate program should possess a Bachelors degree in Engineering (any field), or in the

physical and mathematical sciences.

2.1Program Objectives

The objectives of the MSIE program are:

To increase the skills and level of understanding of students in solving new andold industrial problems;

To raise the formal capability levels of students through advanced work in systems

and operations research techniques;

To provide advanced training in the modern methods, concepts, and principles of

industrial engineering and other recent developments in systems and humanfactors engineering;


2/20

To provide opportunities to engineering graduates to diversify to new areas of

industrial engineering and/or operations research; and To prepare engineering graduates for effective participation and leadership in the

countrys industrialization efforts.

2.2

Fields of Specialization

The Master of Science program offers four areas of specialization: Production Systems(PS), Operations Research (OR), Information Systems (IS), and Human Factors and

Ergonomics (HFE). The Masters degree may be obtained through either the Thesis or

Non-Thesis Options. The Thesis option requires a minimum of twenty-four (24) units of

formal graduate courses and a Masters thesis (6 units) for a total of thirty (30) units. TheNon-thesis option requires thirty-six (36) units of formal graduate courses and a Masters

Comprehensive Examination.

2.3.1 Production Systems

Production is the process by which goods and services are created. These processes arefound in factories, offices, hospitals, supermarkets, etc. the Production Systems (PS)

option is designed to equip the student with advanced and specialized knowledge of

modern industrial engineering principles and practices such as supply-chain management,lean manufacturing, and total quality management, among others. The program is

intended to:

a. increase proficiency and depth of understanding in the functional areas of industrial

engineering,b. provide familiarization with systems engineering concepts and techniques, and

c. stress the role of industrial engineering in engineering design.

2.3.2 Operations Research

Operations Research (commonly referred to as OR) is the application of scientificmethods, techniques, and tools to problems involving the operations of a system so as to

provide those in control of the system with optimum solutions to the problems. Its

distinctive approach is to develop a mathematical model of the system, incorporating

measurements of factors such as chance and risk with which to predict and compare theoutcomes of alternative decisions, strategies, and controls. The purpose is to help

determine optimal policies and actions scientifically. As systems become more complex,

one must resort to modern methods of analysis and optimization.

The objective of the OR option is to provide the students with training in OR

methodology and quantitative techniques that will enable them to handle systemsproblems and provide management with quantitative bases for decisions.

2.3.3 Information Systems

An information system is the interaction of people, machines, and procedures to provide

information to support decision making and system operations. Information has become


3/20

very important because of the increasing cost and scarcity of resources available to an

organization.

The Information Systems (IS) option intends to provide the student with the concepts,

tools, and techniques in the analysis, design, and implementation of manual and

computer-based information systems. It relies heavily on the applications of computer andinformation technology as well as operations research.

2.3.4 Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE)

Human Factors and Ergonomics is the scientific study of human characteristics for the

appropriate design of the living and work environment. It is concerned with ensuring thatthe work system is conducive to good performance and work effectiveness, and

consequently that the work environment is compatible with the health, safety, and comfort

of the worker. It is the branch of science and technology that include what is known andtheorized about human behavioral and biological characteristics that can be validly

applied to reducing human error in system performance, reducing hazards to individuals

in the work environment, improving system efficiency, and designing systems with a userfocus.

The Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) option intends to provide the student with theconcepts, tools, and techniques in the analysis, specification, design, evaluation,

operation, and maintenance of products and systems to enhance safe, effective, and

satisfying use by individuals, groups, and organizations. It relies heavily on the

application of knowledge from various fields in the human sciences and technologyincluding anthropometrics, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, toxicology, industrial

design, information technology, and industrial management.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

All applicants shall take the Graduate Qualifying Examination (GQE) to be administered by theIE/OR Department. Applicants with a grade of at least 85% shall be admitted into the Masters

Degree Program. Applicants with a grade of 60% to below 85% must complete an additional 12

units of refresher courses and shall be admitted into the Masters Program on probation.

Applicants with a grade below 60% will not be admitted into the program. The GQE may betaken for a maximum of two times.

Graduate students are directly admitted into the M.S. in Industrial Engineering program. Uponcompletion of twelve (12) units of core courses and six (6) units of IE specialization courses, a

student may opt to discontinue with the program and obtain a Diploma in Industrial Engineering,

provided that he/she obtains a cumulative weighted average grade of 2.0 or better.

Should the student decide to return to the Masters program after the Diploma has been

conferred, an additional 6 units of IE Electives and 6 units of Electives (or a total of 12 units)need to be taken.
