The Master of Engineering (ORIE) is a professional degree. Its objectives are to provide:
Each student greater breadth and depth of technical knowledge.
An environment in which to synthesize and apply material studied in the coursework.
The program's emphasis is on mathematical modeling and on the application of quantitative techniques associated with optimization, probability, stochastic processes, and statistics to the design and operation...
Operations research is a scientific approach to analyzing problems and making decisions. It uses mathematics and mathematical modeling on computers to forecast the implications of various choices and identify the best alternatives.
Operations research methodology is applied to a broad range of problems in both the public and private sectors. These problems often involve designing systems to operate in the most effective way. Many problems deal with...
The program is designed to prepare the student for research and teaching. The aim is to provide a strong disciplinary background, coupled with significant competence in some area of application. The emphasis is on the conceptual foundations, mathmatical models, and computational issues in practical problem solving.
