Industrial Engineering
MS without Thesis
With the growing prominence of interdisciplinary approaches, the importance of industrial engineering, which combines engineering, business, a system perspective, and a systems approach, has increased both in the education sector and in the business world. The program aims to provide students studying industrial engineering at the undergraduate level with an opportunity for one additional year of specialization. More importantly, it proposes a one-year program where students with undergraduate education in different fields can learn the specific approaches and methods of industrial engineering. The expectation is for this program to enrich the existing thesis-based master’s program and complete the Ph.D. program in Industrial Engineering and Product Management currently ongoing at Koç University and to enrich the structure that currently doesn’t provide many opportunities to students from outside the discipline. As a principle, it is not possible for a student enrolled in the non-thesis master’s program to transition directly to the relevant Ph.D. program within the Institute. However, in cases where the student can meet the specified conditions for applying to the relevant Ph.D. program within the Institute, they may be considered for admission to the respective doctoral program.
Degree Requirements
Industrial Engineering non-thesis master program consists of 10 courses of at least 30 credits, seminar course and term project.
Students are required to complete at least thirty (30) credits by taking at least ten (10) required and elective courses according to their areas of interest. Unless stated otherwise, courses are 3 credits. With the approval of their advisors, students can take a maximum of 3 undergraduate courses to provide a basis for graduate courses, and these undergraduate courses can be used to complete the course and credit requirements of the non-thesis master program.
In addition to the credit courses, students must complete the non-credit courses; INDR 591 - Term Project, INDR 590 - Seminar, ETHR 500 - Scientific Research Methods and Research and Publication Ethics, and ENGL 502 - Effective Writing and Presentation.
