Overview:

The Master of Engineering degree program offers an area of study in Quality, Reliability & Statistical Engineering. This track offers specialized courses founded on basic engineering and statistics principles that are central to improving quality, reliability, and achieving meaningful business results in today’s modern business organizations. The program is designed to prepare graduates for a wide spectrum of opportunities in product and service realization, including engineering design, product and process development, manufacturing, distribution, logistics, and supply chain operations. Students will learn about how modern statistical and engineering techniques are deployed in a wide range of industrial and business settings. They will also learn the basic underlying methodology so that they can develop novel solutions to problems that are unique to their own environment. Some of the world-renowned faculty participating in this program include Dr. Douglas Montgomery, Dr. Esma Gel, and Dr. George Runger.

The MEng is designed for working professionals and delivered entirely online to meet the unique needs of professional engineers. It is a practice-oriented degree.

Degree Requirements

Students must complete 30 credit hours to earn the Master of Engineering degree. For students electing the Graduate Certificate Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Program option, they are required to complete IEE 581 Six Sigma Methodology and Six Sigma Capstone Project along with all required core courses, and one member of the project committee must be a practicing professional. Students electing this option will also receive a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification along with the graduate certificate and MEng degree.

A culminating event is required and will be identified by the student’s advisory committee. The final report for a practice-oriented project (IEE 593:Applied Project or IEE585: Six Sigma Capstone) will serve as the capstone experience.
