A Study on the Operations of Industrial Engineering Curricula in U.S.A.

미국(美國)에서의 산업공학교과(産業工學教科) 운영실태(運營實態) 조사연구(調査硏究)

Major changes of the industrial engineering curricula in U.S.A. were analysed in three stages: 1938, 1958 and 1984. There are tendencies that the traditional plant operation oriented courses are combined and compressed to a few courses while the system oriented courses such as SA, OR, computer applications, man-machine systems are expanding. It will be necessary to organize a study group such as ASEE conducting further studies to meet our needs by upgrading the engineering curriculum for the coming 90's education.
