graduate Minor in Supply Chain and Analytics  

Department of Industrial Engineering 

The fundamental knowledge of industrial engineering and engineering management promotes a systems perspective, which allows us to cut costs while maintaining or improving operational efficiency. Because of the convergence of information technology and systems engineering, industrial engineering and engineering management have become increasingly important in a variety of industries.

The graduate certificate in Supply Chain Engineering program at NMSU is designed to distribute this type of knowledge.

The Required Courses:

BCIS 582	Management of Information Security
IE 523	Advanced Engineering Economy
IE 563	Topics in Engineering Administration

What will I learn?

· Advanced Manufacturing Processes: Covers major process parameters in casting, forming, machining, and joining. Process economics and selection of processes design and interactions.

· Advanced Topics in Stochastic Processes: Markov processes, martingales, Brownian motion, the Ito calculus, stochastic differential equations.

· Management of Information Security: Provides management overview of information security and thorough examination of administration of information security. Surveys field of information security including planning, policy and programs, protection and people relative to information security.

· Advanced Engineering Economy: Theoretical basis for engineering economy methods, problems of cost estimation, replacement, nonmonetary factors, and feasibility studies.

· Topics in Engineering Administration: Study of qualitative and quantitative aspects. Consideration given to philosophical, psychological, political and social implications of engineering administrative decisions.

Why study Supply Chain Engineering at NMSU?

The NMSU supply chain initiative will assist you in developing scalable production strategies for small and medium-sized businesses. You'll contribute to the development of a methodology for assessing the quality manufacturability of new designs from an assembly standpoint. This policy applies to all manufacturing and transportation/distribution-related service sectors.

Potential job titles include:

· Supply Chain Engineer​

· Logistics Planner

· Transportation Analyst​

· Terminal Manager

· Purchasing Agent

· Dispatch Coordinator

· Customer Service Agent

· Distribution Analyst

· Warehouse Supervisor

​​Prerequisites:

Students who do not have a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering may be admitted and required to complete the bridge program, especially in the areas of statistics, cost analysis and engineering economics. Bridge courses do not count toward degree requirements.
