Offered by: School of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering
Administered by: OR&E undergraduate major consultant, 203 Rhodes Hall
Eligibility: Students in all Majors except Operations Research and Engineering may participate in this minor.
Educational Objective: The aim of this minor is to provide an in-depth education in the issues involved in the design and analysis of industrial systems and the tools from information technology that have become an integral part of the manufacturing process. Students will become familiar with the problems, perspectives, and methods of modern industrial engineering and be prepared to work with industrial engineers in designing and managing manufacturing and service operations. That is, rather than providing a comprehensive view of the range of methodological foundations of operations research, this minor is designed to give the student a focused education in the application area most closely associated with these techniques.

Requirements
At least six (6) courses (minimum of 18 credits), chosen as follows:

I. At least three of the following

ENGRD 270	Basic Engineering Probability and Statistics
OR&IE 312	Industrial Data and Systems Analysis
OR&IE 320	Optimization I
OR&IE 480	Information Technology

II. The remaining courses/credit hours from the following
