Overview
Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering is a broad discipline encompassing education and basic/applied research. It focuses on the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment and energy.
IME Degree Programs
Research
We capitalize on the study and application of aero-propulsion, materials science, robotics and sustainable energy to make innovative and creative advances to solving pressing societal problems in human health, environment and industry.
Graduate
Advanced degrees from the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering prepare students for high-level jobs in industry, research and higher education (faculty).
Undergraduate
The Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering offers Bachelor of Science (B.S.) undergraduate degrees.
New findings have been published on how carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn-reinforced polymer composites hold up under extreme heat, moisture and repeated mechanical stress. The study uses accelerated aging methods and data-driven statistical modeling to predict how these lightweight, high-strength materials perform over time in real-world environments.
The multidisciplinary High-Performance Materials Institute (HPMI) performs research for emerging advanced composites, nanomaterials, multifunctional materials and devices and advanced manufacturing. Currently, HPMI is involved in four primary technology areas: High-Performance Composite and Nanomaterials, Structural Health Monitoring, Multifunctional Nanomaterials Advanced Manufacturing and Process Modeling.
