    "description": "<p>Industrial engineering, in its broad nature, focuses on the design and improvement of systems, products and processes. A total systems approach is used to optimize the various aspects of operations in both manufacturing and service industries. The Master of Science in Industrial Engineering program at UCF supports the emergence of Central Florida as a national center of high technology, as well as assists the service industries in the region and throughout the nation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Master of Science in Industrial Engineering program coursework focuses on the systems approach, including complexity, system-of-systems perspective, human-systems integration, as well as the critical issues of economic and social globalization, environmental and business sustainability, innovation and leadership. And with two ways to take courses — on campus or through the <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/online/degree/industrial-engineering-m-s/\">UCF Online industrial engineering program</a> — you'll gain the knowledge and skills necessary to lead a successful career at top companies, including Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, IBM and NASA.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As an industrial engineering graduate student at UCF, you'll also have the opportunity to craft your program of study. This allows you to develop a specialized expertise in various areas of industrial and systems engineering, and engineering management that match your personal interests.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Select courses to focus on one or more of the following research areas:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Human Systems Engineering/Ergonomics</strong><br>\r\nAssist in ensuring that as technology advances, the abilities, limitations and needs of humans are considered in the system design.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Operations Research</strong><br>\r\nUse mathematics and computer-based systems to model operational processes and decisions in order to develop and evaluate alternatives that will lead to gains in efficiency and effectiveness.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Quality Systems Engineering</strong><br>\r\nExplore the various ways to improve product and process quality in manufacturing and service industries.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Simulation Modeling and Analysis</strong><br>\r\nDive deeper into the functional and technical design requirements for simulation in manufacturing and service industries.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Systems Engineering</strong><br>\r\nDesign and implement computer systems, software and networks, including defining complex system requirements and determining system specifications, processes and working parameters.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Interactive Simulation and Training Systems</strong><br>\r\nGain a fundamental understanding of significant topics relative to simulation systems and the requirements, design, development and use of such systems for knowledge transfer in the technical environment.</p>",
