Why Should I Study at Southeast?
The MS Industrial Management program at Southeast is designed with the help from industries we serve in the Southeast Missouri and St. Louis regions. The curricula for the graduate program have been designed to incorporate appropriate theories and practices utilized in “real-world” applications for addressing the needs of modern industries. It is also designed to serve technical managers, production supervisors, engineers, technicians, and related types of individuals who wish to study full-time or part-time to prepare for or enhance their leadership positions in industry and related enterprises. Upon completing the program, graduates will serve as effective leaders, supervisors, and managers in technical enterprises.
The Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology is recognized as a “Center of Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing Technology” and has programs accredited by the National Association of Industrial Technology. The programs are housed in the new Otto and Della Seabaugh Polytechnic Building. The building has nearly 70,000 square feet of floor space. Building highlights include: 12 laboratories with the latest high-tech equipment, five classrooms with multimedia instructional technology and internet access, an interactive television classroom, three fully networked computer labs, and a Technology Resource Center (TRC). The Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology has been identified as one of three Missouri baccalaureate programs identified in the Missouri State Plan for Postsecondary Technical Education to assist with the enhancement of undergraduate and graduate technical education.
The department provides opportunities for its students to participate in experiential learning opportunities with industries in Southeast Missouri and St. Louis where they engage in research related activities to solve “real-world” application problems. Examples of industries that has participated in such activities includes but not limited to, Proctor & Gamble, TG Missouri, Tyco Health Care, Missouri Department of Transportation, Southeast Missouri State University – Facilities Management, Technology Resource Center, Missouri Research Corporation, etc.
