COES to offer online option for graduate engineering degree program
Louisiana Tech University’s College of Engineering and Science has developed an online option for its Master of Science in Engineering degree with a concentration in Industrial Engineering that will be open for students to apply beginning with the winter 2016 academic quarter.
The newly-developed online option will be part of Louisiana Tech’s Global_Campus and will be available to students around the world. The program will be open to traditional master’s degree students, students who are currently employed full time in industry and active military who have earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering.
Through the Global_Campus, the online graduate engineering degree program will empower students from all walks of life to earn an education that can be tailored to their busy schedules and that will possess the same level of quality and cutting-edge education that Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science has become known for. The curriculum will include projects as well as theory-based assignments, and will provide off-campus students with the same educational opportunities as the students who attend classes on campus.
In addition to the Master of Science in Engineering online degree option, a Louisiana Tech University Six Sigma Black Belt certification is also available to all students at Louisiana Tech. The industrial engineering program has offered the Louisiana Tech University Six Sigma Green Belt certification since 2012. The certifications are available to both undergraduate and graduate students and can be earned as part of a degree plan or individually through the life-long learning program.
Dr. Hisham Hegab, dean of the College of Engineering and Science, says that the new opportunities offered by the new Master’s degree and Six Sigma Black Belt certification provide new avenues for additional workforce training.
“We are excited to expand our online program offerings in the College of Engineering and Science with the Master of Science in Engineering degree with the Industrial Engineering concentration,” Hegab said. “This new online option, coupled with the Six Sigma certifications that are available, provides an excellent opportunity for working professionals to continue to advance their education and their careers.”
