Additional coursework is available in human factors.
The programs are designed to offer the student a wide range of choices. Theoretical and applied subjects are offered with a strong emphasis on solving applied problems. Students who have an undergraduate background in industrial engineering and demonstrate sufficient knowledge of one or more of these courses may be exempted from the appropriate course and substitute some other, more advanced course for the same. Other courses offered are regularly updated to reflect changes in technology and with the composition of the faculty. In addition to the listed courses, students may take courses in other departments of the University and Carnegie Mellon University through cross registering.
