Curriculum
Program Format For Engineering Management
The MEM program format consists of 30 semester credit hours*:
- Core Courses (any 5 of the 6 core courses) — 15 Credits
- Electives — 15 Credits
- Total Graduate Credit Hours — 30 Credits
* Effective with the fall 2005 semester, the number of required credit hours was reduced from 36 to 30. Students admitted to the program prior to the fall of 2005 should contact their advisor to discuss the impact of this change on their approved plan of study.
- Core courses (each offered once every three years):
- IMSE 605 Advanced Industrial Management
- IMSE 680 Quantitative Problem Solving Methods
- IMSE 806 Engineering Project Management
- IMSE 810 Industrial Logistics Engineering
- IMSE 811 Advanced Production and Inventory Control
- IMSE 822 Advanced Engineering Economy
Elective Courses
Actual degree requirements will be summarized on an approved plan of study. Some general guidelines include:
- Any course that is not a core course can be an elective course.
- Courses offered by other K-State departments, if approved by an advisor, can also be elective courses.
- At most 6 hours can be transferred from another school, unless prior approval is obtained.
- No more than 6 hours can be taken from an outside department without prior permission.
- Courses in the IMSE department must be above the 600 level.
- Courses outside the department must be above the 500 level.
- No more than 6 hours can be taken at the 500 level.
All K-State Graduate School graduate program rules apply. A final master's examination is required for each student upon completion of their coursework. Students may travel to campus to complete this requirement, or may choose to complete this requirement by taking the exam at their location and submitting it for review by the student's graduate committee. This exam tests students' grasp of topics in the curriculum as well as their ability to apply them in the workplace. Students must be enrolled in a K-State course the semester in which they complete the master's program.
