Industrial Engineering (Ph.D.)

Wayne State University

The Ph.D. in Industrial & Systems Engineering provides rigorous coverage of the latest theory, computational tools, and research methods for a career of discovery in academia or industry. You will learn to innovate in a wide range of domains such as artificial intelligence, high-tech, healthcare, energy, finance, consulting, data science, management, robotics, logistics, and human factors.Our faculty and students conduct research in most areas of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering and bring annually more than 3 million in federal, state, and industrial research grants. The department has a rich history of conducting research with a strong emphasis on addressing real-world problems. This is attributed mostly to our prime location (in Southeast Michigan, the epicenter of the U.S. automotive industry).
