The graduate program in the Department of Industrial Engineering was found in 1990 as an important complement to its undergraduate program. The graduate program emphasizes providing students with opportunities to engage in a variety of research projects and professional practices. The faculty members of the program always endeavor to provide students with excellent education and research experiences for their successful career. Another Industrial Engineering graduate program is also available at the Industrial Liaison Research Institute at our university.

1) At least 24 course units of graduate level credit in Industrial Engineering courses are required for the master's degree, and 60 course units for the doctor's degree (including units completed in master course).


2) Students have to pass a qualifying examination.


3) Students must fulfill presentation, defense, and document requirements for the IE thesis committee.


4) A thesis advisor can be any faculty member from the IE department.

The Department of Industrial Engineering offers a variety of research opportunities in the following areas: Quality/Environment system engineering, Supply Chain management, Management Science, Management Information Systems, Human Factors Engineering, CAD/CAM, Technology & Engineering Economic Analysis, Quality Engineering and Data Analysis.

3) Management Science Laboratory
URL: http://web.khu.ac.kr/~orlab
Director: Professor Hyo-Seong Lee (hslee@khu.ac.kr)

Research Overview
The research at the Management Science Laboratory focuses on solving problems that arise in complex systems such as manufacturing or communication systems. The method includes the logical formulation, mathematical model construction, testing and validation of results, and sensitivity analysis processes involved in problem resolution. The tools used in model building and analysis include various techniques such as stochastic processes, queueing theory, mathematical programming, simulations, and petri-net.

Ongoing Projects
Performance Evaluation of Production Systems
Analysis of Kanban and CONWIP Systems
Approximate Analysis of Queueing Networks with Finite Capacity
Reliability Estimation and Maintenance Policy for Stochastic System

4) Management Information System Laboratory (MIS Lab)
URL: http://mis.khu.ac.kr
Director: Professor Sang-Kuk Kim (sangkkim@khu.ac.kr)

Research Overview
The MIS Laboratory has two main objective for the graduate studies. The first objective is to achieve a comprehensive view of information systems development related to technical and human knowledge. The second objective is giving the strategical view toward business and national economy. The ultimate goal of the MIS Lab is training the graduate student not only as a capable MIS person or a consultant but also as a leader of society with a keen mind and a warm heart.
