Our students solve diverse, real-world problems

Graduate students complete a research effort towards the end of their program of study. Engineering management students will complete an engineering case study and management science students will complete an operations research project.

For example, our graduate students have:

• optimized manufacturing, assembly and sequencing operations for a new facility,
• developed a model for selecting a supplier for gas turbine engines,
• improved production and beer packaging for the Miller Brewing Company
• reduced corrosion of carbon steel yoke,
• improved production rates on the Delphi Chassis drum brake wheel cylinder assembly line,
• analyzed the waiting lines at the Snowshoe Ski Area in West Virginia,
• analyzed failure data for the avionics systems on the AC-130U gunship, and
• optimized a water distribution system for the southern Montgomery County water treatment plant.
