IE 2310 - Introduction to Industrial Engineering - Northeastern University

Northeastern University - Industrial Engineering Programs

Fall 2024 - August 28, 2024 Wednesday LW: First day of fall classes for first-year students

"Industrial Engineering (IE) applies mathematics to different aspects of business processes to improve efficiency and productivity. IE uses technology to manage all kinds of resources, including human beings, effectively. IE has global impact by designing and analyzing complex systems that integrate technical, economic, and social factors for all types of organizations."

 IE 2310 - Introduction to Industrial Engineering

Description

Provides an overview of the history of industrial engineering and of the most common methods that industrial engineers use to solve problems and design efficient processes. The emphasis is on how these methods are used to study, improve, and/or optimize a product or process. Topics include work design, ergonomic design, engineering statistics, quality engineering, engineering economics, project management, and process optimization. Also discusses the design of the production processes, facilities, and material handling systems. Studies applications in manufacturing, product design, and service industries. Laboratory experiments and written reports are required.

IE 5380. Integrated Automation. (4 Hours)

Incorporates the concepts needed to integrally run and manage a set of automated systems in a manufacturing environment. Reviews manufacturing systems and techniques, and characterizes core drives such as control systems, the required hardware (sensors and actuators), robotic arm infrastructure, delivery system, machine vision, and integrated communication. Also covers the storage systems for production, integration uncertainties, failure modes, facts, and troubleshooting topics.

IE 6500. Human Performance. (4 Hours)

Explores a wide range of human-machine systems. Focuses on human performance, human system integration, evaluation, and applications and how they can improve productivity, efficiency, safety, and quality of work life. Involves designing of machines, operations, jobs, and work environments in systems so that they are compatible with human capabilities, characteristics, and limitations. Discusses a variety of human-machine systems and interactions, including transportation, healthcare, human-computer, human-robot, consumer products, and service industries.
