Master's Thesis Program Overview - School of Industrial Engineering - Purdue University

Program Overview

The Master's degree with a thesis option allows students to work with world-renowned faculty to dig deeper in an area of interest. The development of a thesis involves utilizing the knowledge gained in a sub-field of study (e.g., human factors) to a novel engineering problem. In addition, students deepent their competence in surveying cutting-edge research, leading a project independently, design (especially in emerging fields), and communication. 

A thesis is a major undertaking, requiring deep interest in the subject matter and a close relationship with the faculty member supervising the research. Prospective students are encouraged to consider the research profiles of IE faculty, including recent publications, to determine program fit. Pursuing a thesis-option Master's degree is often a step toward pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree, and may be required for admission to some doctoral programs. However, the skills gained through completing a thesis-option Master's program still are highly sought after in industry. Students who intend to earn the doctoral degree must pursue this option. 

Prospective Thesis Master's students are encouraged to consult with faculty members with whom their interests align prior to applying for admission.  You can learn about our  research areas and the faculty doing work in them here , and can directly peruse faculty profiles via our  IE Faculty Directory .

Tips And Ideas For Writing An Industrial Engineering Master’s Thesis

A casual Internet search will reveal that “design” has become both cool (as designers are revered and widely consulted on issues) and business critical (as organisations look to change the ways in which they conceive and build new products to appeal to consumers). At the forefront of many of these trends are industrial engineers, who have the necessary skills and knowledge to plan both products and the systems that will create them at enormous scales while maintaining quality. This expanded role that industrial engineering is taking in the modern world lays fertile ground for your Master’s thesis in the discipline. Here are some ideas for modern, relevant, and fruitful dissertations that will impress your professor.

• Global supply chains for domestic enterprises

Multi-national firms have taken advantage of globalisation to lower their costs. But as the Internet and transportation become ever more accessible, how can smaller, domestic firms take advantage like their larger cousins?

• Humane engineering

Much of industrial engineering is quantitative, mathematical, and objective. To create lasting emotional connections between people and objects, what lessons from psychology, art, and other disciplines need to be integrated into the field?

• Rise of the brain machines

Mechanisation is core to industrial engineering, of course. As computer science makes great strides in artificial intelligence, how might these “mechanical brains” influence industrial processes and control?

A focus on reducing waste in manufacturing has been translated, often poorly, into the design of services. Could this have the unintended consequence of actually lowering productivity?

• Optimal non-optimisation

Many problems in complex systems are problems of optimisation, but ones that have no easily calculable solutions. Instead, we resort to simulation and other techniques. As such, how can we decide when enough optimisation is enough optimisation?

• Dynamic supply systems

In markets where demand is dynamic, what processes can be implemented to improve the responsiveness of the supply production function to that demand?

• Peer-to-peer mega-infrastructures

The Internet has demonstrated the potential for large-scale outcomes based on the individual decisions of cooperating actors. Can these concepts be extended to traditional problems of infrastructure such as the provision of electricity?

• Real options in design

The decisions made in the planning of complex systems can allow or hinder future opportunities. How can the concepts of financial options be applied to valuing designed functions against their costs to implement?

Industrial Design Masters Theses

The Master of Industrial Design program explores design as a vehicle for addressing social, cultural, environmental and other concerns, recognizing that design is not simply a professional service, but rather a way of connecting individual interests and values with a social framework. Students with undergraduate degrees in other fields or with limited design experience are invited to enter the program during Wintersession as a means of preparing to begin the two-year master’s program the following fall.

ID covers a broad range of fields, from product and furniture explorations to design for aerospace and medical applications. Graduate students work independently under the guidance of a faculty advisor and thesis committee, and present their final work verbally, visually and in writing. They also participate in the RISD Graduate Thesis Exhibition , a large-scale public show held annually.

“Graduate candidates in ID don’t necessarily need an undergraduate degree in the field, but they do need strong visual communication skills. For those without an ID background, learning CAD, drawing and model making can be beneficial, and taking a general product design course can provide insight into the design process. Materials-based courses in a medium such as metal, glass, textiles, ceramics or wood also provide a good basis for work in ID.” - Andy Law, Graduate Program Director
