DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
AND OPERATIONS RESEARCH

Master of Science in Industrial Engineering

1.0 PROGRAM OF STUDY

Industrial Engineering is the application of engineering methods and the principles of scientific
management to industrial systems. Industrial systems take an expanded meaning here to mean not
only manufacturing activities but service-oriented operations such as those undertaken by
hospitals, transportation companies, etc., as well. It is concerned with the design, improvement,
and installation of integrated systems of men, materials, and equipment facilities, drawing upon
specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with
principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the
results to be obtained from such systems.

The Industrial Engineering Program at the University of the Philippines puts emphasis on matters
of fundamental nature. This is aimed at providing a sound foundation in science and engineering
in preparation for further progress in a professional engineering career.

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research offers two programs namely:
Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.
The baccalaureate program is a five-year full-time program. The masters program offers
specialization in the areas of production systems, operations research, information systems, or
human factors and ergonomics.

2.0 MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research offers a graduate program
leading to the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE). Applicants to the
graduate program should possess a Bachelors degree in Engineering (any field), or in the
physical and mathematical sciences.

2.1 Program Objectives

The objectives of the MSIE program are:
To increase the skills and level of understanding of students in solving new and
old industrial problems;
To raise the formal capability levels of students through advanced work in systems
and operations research techniques;
To provide advanced training in the modern methods, concepts, and principles of
industrial engineering and other recent developments in systems and human
factors engineering;
To provide opportunities to engineering graduates to diversify to new areas of
industrial engineering and/or operations research; and
To prepare engineering graduates for effective participation and leadership in the
countrys industrialization efforts.

2.2 Fields of Specialization

The Master of Science program offers four areas of specialization: Production Systems
(PS), Operations Research (OR), Information Systems (IS), and Human Factors and
Ergonomics (HFE). The Masters degree may be obtained through either the Thesis or
Non-Thesis Options. The Thesis option requires a minimum of twenty-four (24) units of
formal graduate courses and a Masters thesis (6 units) for a total of thirty (30) units. The
Non-thesis option requires thirty-six (36) units of formal graduate courses and a Masters
Comprehensive Examination.

2.3.1 Production Systems

Production is the process by which goods and services are created. These processes are
found in factories, offices, hospitals, supermarkets, etc. the Production Systems (PS)
option is designed to equip the student with advanced and specialized knowledge of
modern industrial engineering principles and practices such as supply-chain management,
lean manufacturing, and total quality management, among others. The program is
intended to:
a. increase proficiency and depth of understanding in the functional areas of industrial
engineering,
b. provide familiarization with systems engineering concepts and techniques, and
c. stress the role of industrial engineering in engineering design.

2.3.2 Operations Research

Operations Research (commonly referred to as OR) is the application of scientific
methods, techniques, and tools to problems involving the operations of a system so as to
provide those in control of the system with optimum solutions to the problems. Its
distinctive approach is to develop a mathematical model of the system, incorporating
measurements of factors such as chance and risk with which to predict and compare the
outcomes of alternative decisions, strategies, and controls. The purpose is to help
determine optimal policies and actions scientifically. As systems become more complex,
one must resort to modern methods of analysis and optimization.

The objective of the OR option is to provide the students with training in OR
methodology and quantitative techniques that will enable them to handle systems
problems and provide management with quantitative bases for decisions.

2.3.3 Information Systems

An information system is the interaction of people, machines, and procedures to provide
information to support decision making and system operations. Information has become
very important because of the increasing cost and scarcity of resources available to an
organization.

The Information Systems (IS) option intends to provide the student with the concepts,
tools, and techniques in the analysis, design, and implementation of manual and
computer-based information systems. It relies heavily on the applications of computer and
information technology as well as operations research.

2.3.4 Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE)

Human Factors and Ergonomics is the scientific study of human characteristics for the
appropriate design of the living and work environment. It is concerned with ensuring that
the work system is conducive to good performance and work effectiveness, and
consequently that the work environment is compatible with the health, safety, and comfort
of the worker. It is the branch of science and technology that include what is known and
theorized about human behavioral and biological characteristics that can be validly
applied to reducing human error in system performance, reducing hazards to individuals
in the work environment, improving system efficiency, and designing systems with a user
focus.

The Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) option intends to provide the student with the
concepts, tools, and techniques in the analysis, specification, design, evaluation,
operation, and maintenance of products and systems to enhance safe, effective, and
satisfying use by individuals, groups, and organizations. It relies heavily on the
application of knowledge from various fields in the human sciences and technology
including anthropometrics, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, toxicology, industrial
design, information technology, and industrial management.

3.0 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

All applicants shall take the Graduate Qualifying Examination (GQE) to be administered by the
IE/OR Department. Applicants with a grade of at least 85% shall be admitted into the Masters
Degree Program. Applicants with a grade of 60% to below 85% must complete an additional 12
units of refresher courses and shall be admitted into the Masters Program on probation.
Applicants with a grade below 60% will not be admitted into the program. The GQE may be
taken for a maximum of two times.

Graduate students are directly admitted into the M.S. in Industrial Engineering program. Upon
completion of twelve (12) units of core courses and six (6) units of IE specialization courses, a
student may opt to discontinue with the program and obtain a Diploma in Industrial Engineering,
provided that he/she obtains a cumulative weighted average grade of 2.0 or better.

Should the student decide to return to the Masters program after the Diploma has been
conferred, an additional 6 units of IE Electives and 6 units of Electives (or a total of 12 units)
need to be taken.
