Program Description:

The Integrated Manufacturing Systems Engineering (IMSEI) Institute was established in 1984. IMSEI provides multidisciplinary graduate-level education and practical training opportunities in the theory and practice of integrated manufacturing systems engineering at the master’s level. IMSEI focuses on providing a manufacturing presence and a program environment in the College of Engineering where faculty, graduate students and industry can engage cooperatively in multidisciplinary graduate education, basic and applied research, and technology transfer in areas of common interest related to modern manufacturing systems technology. The objective of the MIMSE program is to offer students with traditional discipline backgrounds in engineering and the physical sciences an opportunity to broaden their understanding of the multidisciplinary area of manufacturing systems. Core areas of concentration are offered in manufacturing systems, logistics, mechatronics, and biomanufacturing. The Master of Integrated Manufacturing Systems Engineering (MIMSE) distance education program is designed for students with an undergraduate degree in engineering or the physical sciences. It is a 33 credit hour degree program that does not require a thesis, final oral exam or on-campus residency.
