Welcome from the Director!

Welcome to SIUE's Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering web site.  As you browse these pages, you'll find a number of very interesting items.  It's an exciting time to be affiliated with the IME program, whether you're a student, a professional staff member, or one of the IME faculty.  Recent developments include:

      • Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Istanbul Technical University are proud to announce a joint-degree program in Industrial Engineering for students of ITU beginning Fall 2007. More......
      • A new MS in Industrial Engineering is in the final approval stage and classes are expected to begin Fall 2008.
      • SIUE/UMR M.S. - Manufacturing Engineering Program:  SIUE has an agreement witht he University of Missouri-Rolla to offer a collaborative Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering.  Coursework in this program can be completed on the SIUE campus, at the UMR Engineering Extension Center in St. Louis, or at the UMR main campus in Rolla, Missouri.  The entire program can be completed entirely in the St. Louis area, for students who choose to do so.  For more information, contact Dr. Kevin Hubbard, IME Graduate Program Director.
      • Program Enrollment Growth:  IME programs have experienced strong enrollment growth over the past three years.  During that period, our undergraduate population has more than doubled in size, and the inaugural M.S. - Manufacturing Engineering cohort is expected to number more than twenty students.
      • Formation of the Southwest Illinois Advanced Manufacturing Center:  The Southwest Illinois Advanced Manufacturing Center (SIAM) was formed in July, 2002, and has already achieved a string of successes.  SIAM performs basic and applied research, and workforce development activities intended to assist small to moderately sized manufacturing enterprises in Illinois and the St. Louis metropolitan area.  Find out more about SIAM.
      • Initiation of the SIAM/N.O. Nelson Research and Education Facility:  In June, 2003, SIUE and Lewis & Clark Community College reached an agreement for the joint establishment of a 12,000 square foot Research and Education Facility to be housed in Edwardsville's historic N.O. Nelson Center.  The State of Illinois has committed more than $16 million to the renovation of this seven acre complex with the final phase nearing completion.  The SIAM Center equipment is scheduled for instalation beginning in mid Augus6 2007.

    These are just a few of the new IME Program developments.

Enjoy your visit, and if you have the time, contact us to arrange a personal or group visit to our labs.  We hope to see you in person some time soon.
