About the Department
Industrial engineering entails designing, controlling, and managing complex systems and procedures for using production resources (people, information, equipment, and materials). The applications of industrial engineering principles can be found in manufacturing, healthcare, delivery and financial services, airlines, space programs and so on. The Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering offers two fully-accredited B.S. degree programs in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering. In addition, the department has Master's programs in Industrial & Systems Engineering, Engineering Management, Information Systems & Technology, Program and Project Management, and Dual Degree program in I&SE and MBA. You can follow the links in the sidebar for more information on our department, our faculty and their research, and the different degree programs we offer.

M.S. in Program and Project Management (M.S. in PPM) is 30 semester hours graduate degree designed to address this growing need and targets technical professionals from various industries (i.e. engineering, information technology, military, government, healthcare, energy, transportation) who need to deepen their understanding of program and project management and would like to make a transition from team members to program managers. Graduates will also have the foundation to pursue certification as a project management professional (PMP). Research Grant from Ecomotors to Support System Level Optimization of Complex Mechanical Systems
Professor Yubao Chen received a research grant from Ecomotors International to develop new system level optimization and predictive model for an opposite piston opposite cylinder (OPOC) engine. New Grant from Hyundai - Kia Motors to Investigate Measure of Perceived Gear-Shifting Quality
This research grant from Hyundai - Kia Motors will allow Dr. Sang-Hwan Kim, assistant professor of IMSE and Mr. ByeongWook Jeon, visiting scholar from Hyundai-Kia Motors to develop measure of gearshift quality for optimizing driver propensity in terms of vehicle ergonomics. M.S. in Information Systems and Technology (MSE-IST) Program is Now Offered Online
The College of Engineering & Computer Science is now offering its M.S. in Information Systems & Technology program (MSE-IST) via distance learning technologies. John Junge Gives 350,000 to Endow Scholarship
When John Junge was applying to college as a teenager in Jackson, Michigan, he assumed he would have to go to community college first because of financial constraints. But he won a scholarship to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor instead. After learning about the Dearborn campus's cooperative education program, he transferred so he could earn money in his chosen profession while finishing his studies.
Now he's giving back. Junge, a member of the class of 1964, recently announced a 350,000 gift to establish a scholarship for high school students who want to major in industrial and manufacturing systems engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Research Grant from Samchun Pure Chemical to Support Materials Development for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Professor Cheol Lee received a research grant from Samchun Pure Chemical for development of electrode materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Dr. Lee and his research team will be working on new DOE, data mining, cost modeling and optimization techniques for establishing relationships between powder characteristics and performance of a small single solid oxide fuel cell.
