录取要求

BS degree in industrial engineering or related area or equivalent

Non-native English speakers must have a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 580 (written), 243 (computer-based test), or 92 (Internet version).

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is *required for all masters programs in ISyE. Information on taking the GRE exam can be found here: https://www.ets.org/gre. Please note: Applicants should plan to take their exam by Dec. 1st to allow scores to be sent and processed.

申请材料清单

Fill out an online application through the Graduate School website and pay the application fee.

Include three recommendation letters and the recommenders’ contact information as part of the online application* . An email will be sent to the recommender, asking that they submit their letter online using the Graduate School’s recommendation form. Applicants can log back into their online application to re-send the email request if the recommender loses the email. Letters of recommendation must be submitted electronically.

Submit a Statement of Purpose with your online application.

GRE EXAM INFORMATION (STARTING FALL 2018): The course-only option does require the GRE exam be taken by prospective students as part of the application but note there are no specific scoring guidelines for the exam as the GRE is only one part of consideration for admission into the program. Please note : Applicants should plan to take their exam by Dec. 1st to allow scores to be sent and processed.

TOEFL EXAM INFORMATION: Ask ETS to submit your TOEFL scores to the UW-Madison Graduate School (Institution Number 1846). If you have your scores sent to UW-Madison, they will be available online to all departments to which you have applied. The institution code, therefore, is the only number needed. For more information please visit the Graduate School Requirements page. (Please note: Exam information must be valid at start date of the semester that you are applying for (non-expired)).

Electronically submit one copy of your official transcript with your application. Unofficial copies of transcripts will be accepted for review but official copies are required for admitted students.

专业介绍

The demand for engineers who can combine a concern for the human component with traditional engineering principles is great. The Human Factors and Health Systems Engineering program provides students content from physical ergonomics, cognitive ergonomics, macroergonomics and broad issues in health care, including long-term care, prevention, quality improvement, health care financing, and system evaluation.

This program considers human reliability, psychomotor capabilities and human characteristics in equipment. As an important aspect of equipment design is human-computer interaction. Engineers are concerned with the complex physical relationships between people, machines, job demands and work methods, design, work quality and assessment of skill. Also important are organizational issues such as management approaches, job design, participative problem solving, psychological stress, job satisfaction, performance effectiveness, product/service quality, and quality of work life.

Effective model building requires strong systems analysis skills. While skill in manipulating statistical and mathematical models is essential to an industrial engineer’s success, the health systems engineer must also be able to initiate resolutions to strategic problems using knowledge of how organizational decisions are made.

What You Learn 

Articulates, critiques, or elaborates the theories, research methods, and approaches to inquiry or schools of practice in industrial and systems engineering including areas such as decision science and operations research, quality engineering, manufacturing and health systems, and/or human factors.

Identifies sources and assembles evidence pertaining to questions or challenges in industrial and systems engineering.

Selects and/or utilizes the most appropriate industrial and systems engineering methodologies and practices.

Evaluates or synthesizes information pertaining to questions or challenges in industrial and systems engineering.

Communicates clearly in ways appropriate to industrial and systems engineering.
