Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering
Overview
Ph.D. students normally develop individual programs of study in service and enterprise systems, and manufacturing systems. In addition, there are also opportunities for interdisciplinary programs such as logistics, supply chain management, health care systems, transportation, human factors, material science, ocean engineering, and biomedical engineering.
