Students pursuing a doctoral degree or a master's degree with financial support from The University must meet the OR/IE Area Research Requirements. Both master's and doctoral students are expected to establish a relationship with a OR/IE Area Faculty member for supervision of their research within their first semester in the graduate program.

The Mechanical Engineering Department provides the OR/IE Area with an abundance of Research Resources and Research Facilities. The Department, along with the entire Cockrell School of Engineering and the University of Texas at Austin are recognized as premier research institutions in the world. The cornerstone of our Department is the excellent research talent marshalled here.

Our primary facilities are located on campus in the ten-story Engineering Teaching Center II and on the J.J. Pickle Research Campus. These resources offer everything from wood shops to electron micropes, and microcomputers to an active teaching nuclear reactor.

 

OR/IE AND AFFILIATED RESEARCH LABS

INFORMS: Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) is an international organization serving the scientific and professional needs of OR/MS/IE investigators, scientists, students, educators, managers and their institutions. INFORMS hosts professional conferences and publishes journals that describe current methods and applications. A focal point for its members, INFORMS helps them to communicate with one another, with other professional societies and with the varied customers which OR, MS & IE serve.
