This major provides a broad education in the techniques and modeling concepts needed to design, analyze, and operate complex systems. The major prepares students for a wide range of careers including operations research, information engineering, entrepreneurship, operations management, consulting, financial engineering, financial services, and engineering management. The foundation of the major is the development of basic skills in statistics, probability, mathematical optimization, and computer science. Required courses in industrial systems, cost accounting, and simulation build on these skills and provide engineering analysis experiences. In the senior year the curriculum is quite flexible. Students take ORIE electives to broaden and deepen their expertise in applied probability and statistics, industrial systems, optimization, information technology, financial engineering, and their applications. Because of the wide range of career goals among ORE students, and the large number of electives, students should consult with their major advisors to select electives that best meet their future goals. Exceptional students interested in pursuing graduate studies are encouraged to speak with their faculty advisors concerning an accelerated program of study.
