Program Overview
The Department of Industrial Engineering provides excellent undergraduate and graduate
educational experiences, conducts research in several areas, and provides service to the academic
and industrial communities.
Vision Statement
The Department of Industrial Engineering will be recognized nationally for its students who are
well prepared for industrial and academic careers. In addition, the IE faculty will conduct and
disseminate research that advances knowledge in industrial engineering, and provide quality
service in areas that advance the engineering profession.
The Graduate Program in Industrial Engineering.
The primary change in the graduate program over the past six years has been the addition of the
doctoral program in Systems and Engineering Management that is offered both on campus as
well as via distance education. The previous off-campus site in Amarillo was shut down in 2009
and the students in that program converted seamlessly into the distance programs in Systems and
Engineering Management (both MS and PhD).
The master’s degree program in Manufacturing Systems Engineering was discontinued in 2011
due to lack of enrollment in the program.
The goals of the department concerning graduate programs are to:
a. Provide high quality programs in the degree programs and specialty areas that are
offered.
b. Maintain adequate numbers of faculty to accommodate the enrolled students.
c. Have an awareness of shifts in demands for graduate programs, improve existing
programs to meet new needs, and develop additional programs within department
capabilities and the perceived needs of potential students.
d. Continue to develop and refine off-campus programs, insuring quality degree programs
for distance students.

As seen in the table above, the number of TA positions decreased significantly with the collegerequired minimum salary increase for TA’s. RA positions have increased slightly. The GPTI
positions of the past two years have been available due to faculty salaries of faculty members
who have either left the university or were on leaves of absence.

G. Type of financial support available for graduate students
Department support for graduate students consists of research assistantships, teaching
assistantships, and scholarships. As fewer funds have become available due to decreases in
graduate tuition and Instructional funds, the number of supported students has decreased in
recent years. Also, the increase in the level of TA/RA stipends has reduced the number of
supported students.
A limited number of $1000 scholarships are offered each year to graduate students. The $1000
competitive scholarship is worth a great deal more, as it waives out-of-state tuition and fee
charges, allowing the student to pay the much lower in-state rates.
Currently, approximately 45% of our graduate students are in the distance education programs;
typically the full-time employment rate for these students is 100%.

We do not have detailed information of students receiving the awards listed above. However,
our students have not been very successful in those awards, so the impact of those awards has
been minimal for Industrial Engineering.
We had three students receive Graduate School Fellowships in 2009, which continued
for three years at a rate of $18K per year per student. In 2010 we had two students receive
Graduate School fellowships for two years each funded at a rate of $15.6K per year per student.
In 2011 two students were awarded Fellowships of $26K per year.

have access to graduate student vitas, and did not pursue estimates by faculty of their graduate
student production.
K. Programs for mentoring and professional preparation of graduate students
There are numerous situations where Industrial Engineering faculty are involved in
mentoring activities to nurture and facilitate the career growth of graduate students. The daily
activities vary widely and are too countless to monitor; however there are milestones in a student's
graduate program that can serve as an indicator of career advising. Several of these key elements
will be discussed in this section.
Graduate students who are in the "Thesis Option" have specific due dates and deliverables for the
degree. Master's students are required to complete a final defense prior to the completion of their
degree. In this situation the Thesis Advisor works closely with the student to conduct relevant
research and secure the successful completion of the degree. Often the student is working on
research that is supported by a funded research project so there is the ability to interact with
companies, governmental agencies, and industry partners. The research and thesis advisor mentors
the student to develop skills and abilities to interact with the research partner.
Non-thesis master's students are not required to complete a thesis but are required to stand in an oral
examination. The oral exam serves as the final examination for the completion of the degree as
required by the Texas Tech Graduate School. In the non-thesis program graduate student interact on
a frequent basis with their graduate advisor. The graduate advisor is the student's liaison between the
IE department and the TTU Graduate School.
Doctoral students are required to complete a proposal defense, preliminary exam, and final defense.
Industrial Engineering
44
In each of these degree program milestones the Dissertation Advisor works very closely with the
student. Since this program typically takes 2-4 years to complete there are ample opportunities for
the Dissertation Advisor to provide career mentoring to the student.
PhD students are qualified to serve as either research assistants or teaching assistants and are good
examples of mentoring students.
A final opportunity to assist in the career advising of graduate students is the "Optional Practical
Training" program. The IE department allows Master's students the ability to spend up to 12 months
following the completion of their degree to work in industry. The IE department chair is the only
person authorized to approve Optional Practical Training requests.
L. Department efforts to retain students and graduation rates.
Graduation rates for full-time students usually range from 95% to 100% each year. The dominant
reason for a student not completing a graduate degree is the student receives financial assistance at
another university but is not being supported by a RA/TA at Texas Tech University.
Graduation rates for distance education students are very difficult to measure. Part of the difficulty
arises from the extended time some students require to complete the MS degree; if a student has
taken courses already but does not take a course for one or more semesters, it is not readily possible
to determine whether the student has terminated the degree program or has temporarily ceased
taking courses. Also it is not known whether a student enrolled in one or more courses only to
receive training in those courses or intends to complete the MS degree. Often a student does not
fully know his/her intentions until some courses are taken.
M. Percentage of Full-Time Master and Doctoral students per year – Fall Data
As shown in the chart below, the on-campus and off-campus programs vary
greatly in the percentage of full time versus part time students. All on-campus students are full

E. Scholarships and endowments
Over the years, the department has offered $1,000 scholarships to graduate students on a
competitive basis. The primary source of funding for these scholarships was the graduate
tuition received by the department. Recently these funds are no longer available to the
department, so the future of the $1,000 scholarship offers is questionable. The true value of the
$1,000 scholarship is that it waives out-of-state tuition for the student, resulting in a savings that
is several times the scholarship value of $1,000. The department has limited endowed
scholarship dollars for graduate students. Endowments such as the Ayoub Scholarship,
Webasto Scholarship, Banasik Scholarship provide limited numbers of scholarship availabilities
each year.

H. External Program Accreditation –
The industrial engineering program is accredited by ABET for the undergraduate program.
ABET generally accredits only one program and virtually all engineering programs accredit
the undergraduate program. The IE undergraduate program was accredited by ABET for the
full six year period in 2011.
At the graduate level, we have one accreditation:
Human Factors and Ergonomics Society- accredited in 2011 for 6 years.
Information from HFES regarding accreditation:
Accreditation shall be awarded to graduate programs of human factors and ergonomics
rather than to specific degrees within the university. Therefore, a human factors and
ergonomics program may be composed of a cadre of courses offered from several
departments and colleges within the university. Degree requirements of the applying or
university may differ from the requirements/guidelines outlined in the document. However,
the criteria in the sections on curriculum (Section A), practical experience (Section B), and
staffing (Section C) outlined in this Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Self-Study
Report Guide must be satisfied for accreditation.

VI.
Conclusion –
The graduate programs in the Department of Industrial Engineering have a long history of
excellence. The degrees offered have changed over the years to meet changing needs in the
marketplace. During the review period the MS degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering
was discontinued and the Ph.D. degree in Systems and Engineering Management was added.
The department offers graduate degrees in both traditional and emerging area of industrial
engineering. The industrial engineering graduate degrees provide a flexible core and
specialization within a specific area. The systems and engineering management degrees offer a
fixed core with a flexible degree plan across the department’s program areas allowing broader
curriculum choices for students. These degree options allow students to choose the degree that
best meets their needs.
The MSIE and MSSYEM degrees and the Ph.D. degree in Systems and Engineering
Management are available through distance education providing flexibility for students. It also
allows for increased graduate enrollments as working engineers continue their educations.
Overall graduate student quality has improved over the review period. GRE scores for students
in the industrial engineering MS and Ph.D. degree programs increased from 354V, 682Q to
461V, 747Q. GRE scores for students in the systems and engineering management MS and
Ph.D. programs also rose for most of the review period, but dipped last year to 2006 levels.
There are areas for improvement that will be considered as new leadership in the department is
established. One area that could improve the quality and quantity of graduate students is a more
active recruiting strategy. Potential efforts could include national advertisements (e.g., in
Industrial Engineer magazine), recruiting booths at the national meetings for IIE, INFORMS,
ASEM, and HFES, and campus visits for outstanding candidates within the country. Also,
changes in application processing as the graduate school moves to an online system could
reduce the load on faculty and improve responsiveness to potential students.
In summary, the quality of the department’s graduate programs has continued to improve and
will continue to do so in the future.

B.1 Master of Science in Industrial Engineering: Once admission has been gained (Section 3), the
Master of Science in industrial engineering can be earned under one of two programs: (1) the 30hour non-thesis program or (2) the 30-hour thesis program. In either case, the plan of study and
application for candidacy (Program for the Master's Degree and Admission to Candidacy) must be
filed before the submission deadlines published by the Graduate School (typically 6 months prior to
graduation). If changes are to be made in the plan of study once it has been approved, the Form for
Reporting Changes on Graduate Degree Programs is used. In addition, an intent to graduate
(Statement of Intention to Graduate) must be filed early (usually within the first month) in the term
of intended graduation. All necessary forms can be obtained from the Graduate School at:
http://www.depts.ttu.edu/gradschool/ .
Detailed Graduate School deadlines are available from the Graduate School each term. It is the
responsibility of each student to comply with the Graduate School deadlines and fees. Students are
encouraged to contact the Graduate School early in their final term to verify that they are in
compliance with all requirements.
Non-thesis Program. The 30-hour program requires a minimum of 30 graduate credit hours,
approved by the Graduate Coordinator and the Graduate Dean, and successful completion of the
M.S. final examination (see Appendix A). Students under the 30-hour M.S. program must take at
least 3 hours of course work in each of the five specialty areas in the Department of Industrial
Engineering. The Graduate Coordinator is responsible for administering the 30-hour M.S. degree
option. Note – a maximum of 2 independent study courses of IE5332 will be allowed on a student’s
M.S. plan of study.
As a requirement for graduation, students pursuing this option must successfully pass a final oral
examination covering their graduate studies. The examination is intended to demonstrate to the
faculty that the student has mastered the important concepts, techniques, and methodologies of
industrial engineering and can apply them to real world engineering and management problems. The
exact content and questions are determined by the examining faculty committee and may cover all
such material that they consider relevant. Efforts are made to include faculty members who have
instructed the student in class and/or are familiar with the student's work and area(s) of interest in
industrial engineering. The student should request that the exam be scheduled in their last semester
or summer term. Students must be enrolled during the term in which they take the final examination
and complete all other graduation requirements.
If the examination is not passed on the first attempt, it may be repeated once. Under these
circumstances, the student will be informed in writing of his/her deficiencies and of recommended
steps to correct these deficiencies. It is the Graduate Coordinator's responsibility to notify the
student and the Graduate School of test results.
Industrial Engineering
Thesis Program. The 30-hour thesis program requires a minimum of 24 graduate semester credit
hours plus 6 hours of thesis research credit (IE 6000) approved by the student's M.S. committee.
Students under the 30-hour M.S. thesis program must take at least 3 hours of course work in each of
the five specialty areas (MSIE, MSSYEM, and MSMSE) in the Department of Industrial
Engineering.
The student's plan of study must be approved by his/her committee, the Graduate Coordinator and
the Graduate Dean. Note – a maximum of one independent study course of IE5332 will be allowed
on a student’s M.S. plan of study.
The master's thesis is expected to represent independent work by the student, conducted under the
supervision of his/her graduate committee. It must be written clearly and concisely in English. The
focus of the thesis may be an original contribution to the body of knowledge of an area relevant to
industrial engineering or a significant application of existing knowledge to a real engineering or
management problem. Students are encouraged to draw upon their work experience in defining a
thesis topic.
As soon as the student's area for the thesis has been determined, the student is responsible for
structuring his/her committee. The committee must consist of at least three members of the graduate
faculty, at least two members (a majority of the committee) must be from the Department of
Industrial Engineering. A formal written plan of study and research proposal must be submitted to
the committee, and an oral proposal successfully made prior to enrollment in IE 6000. All members
of the committee must approve the plan of study and proposed topic. The I.E. Graduate Coordinator
must approve the plan of study and committee. The advisory committee is formally appointed by the
Graduate Dean, upon the recommendation of the Department of Industrial Engineering. Once
enrolled in IE 6000, students must maintain their enrollment each term until they defend their thesis
and complete all other graduation requirements.
With the aid of his/her major professor, the student must complete the research work and then
schedule and successfully present and defend his/her thesis to the faculty. The final draft of the
thesis document must be submitted to the thesis committee 2 weeks prior to the final defense to
allow committee members adequate time to prepare for the defense. All theses must conform to the
style and format set out by the Graduate School. It is the responsibility of the student to write the
document and work with the Graduate School to meet all thesis style and format requirements and
to deliver the proper number of copies to the Graduate School. The Graduate School issues a
complete list of deadlines each term, relative to graduation requirements. In addition to the Graduate
School requirements, the student is expected to furnish each committee member and the department
with a bound copy of the thesis. The student's major professor is responsible for the administration
of the M.S. thesis program, once a topic and major professor are selected.
B.2 Master of Systems and Engineering Management (MSSEM). The Department of Industrial
Engineering at Texas Tech also offers a master's degree in Systems and Engineering Management.
This degree will be offered both on-campus as well as through distance education (video/internet).
The degree has more flexibility in the course requirements so that it can be tailored to student's
industrial needs. This degree has 15 hours of core credits:
IE 5311 principles of optimization
IE 5320 systems theory
IE 5321 decision theory
IE 5323 the engineering management environment
and the choice of either taking IE 5346 Total Quality Control, or IE 5316 Simulation.
Industrial Engineering
It can be obtained with a thesis or non-thesis option just like the MSIE.
B.4 150 Hr. BS/MS Program. The 150 hour program is available to high performing Texas Tech
Industrial Engineering undergraduate students. Students apply to the program at the end of their
Junior year and their application is reviewed by the graduate faculty in the department to determine
their acceptance into the program. Acceptance into the 150 hour program will be based on the
student’s academic performance to date and faculty assessment of their suitability for graduate
work. Status as a student in “good standing” will not necessarily lead to acceptance into the
program. Students accepted in the 150-hour BS/MS program substitute three 4000 level courses
(normally taken during the senior year) with three graduate (5000 level) courses. The course
substitutes will be credited towards both the BS degree plan requirements and the MS degree plan
requirements. By participating in this program, students can reduce both the time and associated
expense required to obtain an M.S. degree (by up to one semester).
Most students participating in the program will substitute three introductory graduate classes for the
three required 4000-level Industrial Engineering Technical electives. However, all graduate course
substitutions must be approved by the graduate advisor prior to enrollment in the graduate courses.
Students will not be allowed to enroll in graduate classes unless they are within 30 hours of
completing their undergraduate degree. Poor academic performance in the graduate program can
lead to dismissal from the 150 hour program.
Students in the 150 BS/MS program will receive the BS degree once all degree requirements for that
program have been met.
Admission Requirements: To participate in the 150-hour BS/MS program, students must be
admitted to the IE Graduate Program prior to taking any graduate classes. Admission to the graduate
program requires:
• Completion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). The GRE exam is waived for any TTU
Industrial Engineering undergraduate student in good standing and with a cumulative
GPA of 3.5/4.0 or above as of the time of consideration (application) to the 150 hour
program.
• Completion of a TTU Graduate School application form.
Applications are usually processed by the TTU Graduate School and the Department of
Industrial Engineering in approximately one month. However, results from the GRE
exam must be received before an application can be processed. This can take up to 6
weeks. Students interested in the 150- hour BS/MS program should begin the application
process during their junior year. A completed application (including GRE scores) should
be submitted no later than the last semester of the junior year (as long as the student is
within 30 hours of completing the undergraduate degree).
Student Status: Once a student has been admitted to the Graduate School, the student’s official
classification is that of a graduate student even though the requirements for the B.S. degree have not
been fulfilled yet. However, from a practical viewpoint, students in the 150-hour program maintain
most, perhaps all, privileges that would be associated with undergraduate student status, including:
• Students can be officers in organizations such as IIE, APM, and SME;
• Undergraduate scholarship eligibility remains intact until the B.S. degree is completed.
B.5 Doctor of Philosophy: Once admission has been gained (Section 3), the Doctor of Philosophy
with a major in industrial engineering is earned by completing a minimum of 60 graduate level
Industrial Engineering
semester credit hours (beyond the B.S. level) plus at least 12 credit hours of IE 8000 and the
successful completion and defense of a dissertation. At least 45 semester credit hours must be
completed in industrial engineering or closely related courses. This total must include at least 30
semester credit hours of course work completed at Texas Tech University. Doctoral students must
take at least 3 hours of course work in each of the five specialty areas in the Department of
Industrial Engineering (transfer courses may be used with approval of the Graduate Advisor).
A minimum of 15 semester credit hours may be completed to serve as a minor. The minor credit
hours may be directed at a specified minor or at a non-specified minor. The minor areas should be
chosen to support the Ph.D. research work.
A total of up to 30 semester credit hours, from a M.S. program, may be counted in either the major
area or the minor area or a combination to the two areas. Transfer credit hours are evaluated by the
student's Ph.D. committee as to their applicability to his/her plan of study. Courses completed more
than 7 years prior to entry in the Ph.D. program must be justified, in writing, by the student as to
their relevance towards the Ph.D. plan of study. The acceptance of such course work is at the
discretion of the department and the Graduate Dean.
The Graduate School requires a "residency" period of each Ph.D. student. Residency normally
constitutes full-time study, and to have completed 24 hours within a 12 month period, at Texas
Tech. Specific details regarding current residency requirements are listed in the Graduate Catalog.
In some cases, a Ph.D. student will be asked by his/her committee to satisfy tool requirements in
order to complete the Ph.D. program. Tool requirements consist of courses at either the graduate or
undergraduate level and are not counted in either the major or minor course hours.

FACULTY COMMENTS:
What do you consider to be the strengths of your graduate program(s)?
They provide exposure to a breadth of areas within industrial engineering as well as the opportunity to
do in-depth research if the student is interested.
The expertise of the faculty and the collegial manner in which they interact.
Faculty availability and support
Distance learning students and multidisciplinary aspects.
What changes, if any, could be made to improve the quality of your graduate program(s)?
Quality of student could be improved by tightening admissions review; however, the department is
under pressure to increase graduate enrollments.
I think it would strengthen the program if graduates have better exposure to computing issues that are
relevant to the jobs of industrial engineers.
The recent notices given by the Grad School of "we have some funding available to recruit grad
students... please give us the names in the next few days or weeks" is not conducive to recruitment of
students. The only way to submit names is to provide names already in the system, so the recruitment
aspect is totally lacking. It is not reasonable to respond appropriately in the short time frames given.
This has happened several times recently and is frustrating. If there is money available, give us adequate
time to recruit good quality students, rather than just throwing some money to someone who happened
to be in the right place at the right time. Also, the trend to shorten the acceptance/rejection time places
an undue burden on the department, especially when we are asked to make decisions on incomplete
applications. Although, we have been forced to reject incomplete applications rather than hold them and
wait for the application to be completed. The decision to "accept students as GTEMPS" when a decision
has not been made by the department is also a poor decision (especially if the department will reject the
applicant during the next review). This happened last year, when we had a few students apply during
the December time frame, when the university was not in session and the grad committee was not
available to meet. This attempt to "increase our enrollment numbers" is at best unethical when some of
the applicants will not be admitted to our program. There are published deadlines for applications, but
we are still asked to respond in a very short time frame to applications that come in at the last minute.
Make available university fellowships that departments compete for to attract doctoral students.

STUDENT COMMENTS:
What do you consider to be the strengths of this program?
The quality of the students in SyEM at PhD level. / Financial support for graduate students. / The
great IE department culture (although I believe is about to be extinct thanks to the new dean) /
No Strengths
The subjects I have encountered to date are extremely applicable to any number of industries and
businesses. The program prepares its students to focus on systems problems and improve data
collection and problem solving skills.
Good Faculty!
the quality and rigor of the courses
The experiences of the faculty are a big draw. Also the program is one that is attractive to me
personally based on its core curriculum while also allowing the flexibility of distance education. In
addition, the University is well respected.
The quality of the faculty and the availability of core courses.
Coursework and Ranking in the US
Distance learning opportunities.
My major professor is very helpful, taking time each week to hold a research meeting so we can
update him and receive updates on our office mates' research. Additionally, the faculty and staff are
available and helpful.
Access to present trends and historical knowledge
Combination of theory with practice.
Relevant to my real world work. Broad coverage of topics within Systems.
The program has a blend of subjects from different areas that may aid in understanding and adapting
according to the market needs.
Topics and experience of professors.
I am in my first class and the quality of lecture has been good.
Applicability to real world and ability to put learning to immediate use for reinforcement. Passion of
instructors.
greatest grad professor
What do you consider to be the weaknesses of this program?
Faculty used to be a strength, now I am not sure. 2 faculty members in SyEM left, and out of the two
remaining, one is not very involved and the other has other priorities. / Curriculum is quite outdated,
it is very quantitative in nature / Most of the classes are very easy to pass (even to score an A). The
academic level may have suffered due to the influx of distance ed students (who most of the time are
simply not prepared for graduate level classes). / I quite frankly never understood the need to have a
distance ed PhD program. I thought I enrolled at TTU not University of Pheonix (I actually
understand the $$$ behind it). / Frankly, the new Dean is like a ram in a crystal shop. His approach
has forced professors shift priorities with unrealistic expectations for IE and SyEM academic areas.
It will hurt big time the department and the College sooner than later, but unfortunately by then this
dean will be long gone enjoying the job he is using his current one as a stepping stone.

Everything is Weak about this program. Lesser said the better
Occasionally I have run into issues where it has been difficult to get help from the professor due to
high enrollment in the class of both on-campus and distance students. The use of TAs may be
considered to help in intensive or fast paced classes with a significant number of distance students.
Graduate Adviser - He is real bad!
Lack of defined processes for to help students navigate the program. I am still awaiting feedback on
course transfer documents I submitted 9 months ago. I have sent several follow-up requests and still
have not received a response. I have not even received an acknowledgement of my requests.
At times, professors can be slow to respond to inquiries via email or blackboard so this can created
anxiety especially with deadlines looming. Getting transfer credit from other Master's level
programs to utilize at the Doctoral level here seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
No information, beyond recruiting website, is offered to new distance PhD students regarding details
of student progression through the program, requirements of the program and faculty advisors role in
assisting new students.
No funding for PhD students, equipment accessibility, research facilities
The courses do not have mich rigor. The engineering management program does not teach
mathematical tools. Instead the program heavily depends on theoretical concepts. We are given more
philosophical courses that tools that would serve as tools in the field.
The adequacy of some distance lectures form an audio/visual perspective. Also, the ability to take
leveling courses while enrolled in a distance program are severely limited.
The office is closed between 12 and 1. This is inconvenient at times. / / Also, I find that the
semester/course advising is lacking. I used to be advised by Dr. Rivero, who took the time to ask me
questions and let me voice any concerns or comments. My new advisor does not seem to be as
receptive. (This is different than my major professor/advisor, who I consider to be my dissertation
advisor.) / / When asking or retrieving paper for our office printer, I feel as if I am a burden, at
times. As a teaching assistant (instructor) I need to be able to print my lectures and other materials.
Sometimes not solid
Have not identified any yet. I think it is challenging to cater to distance students and I am pleased
with this so far.
There is no funding provided. GA, RA, TA is like a distant dream from a master's student. The
department doesn't allow international students to take CPT. There is no support mechanism like
scholarships, assistantships available that will help international students. Program Fees are high
compared to other departments. Recommendations aren't given to students. The student body doesn't
advertise any of the companies coming on campus. The department doesn't invite companies with
industrial background on campus.
Courses not available for dual degree program with Monterrey Tech when students are in campus.
1. Student advising is poor. I have gotten little guidance except to take the core classes. / 2.
Communication in general is poor. As a distance student the telephone and email are my only
communication tools and both are handled poorly. When I call there is no way to leave a message
and emails can take days or weeks for a response.
Lack of videoconferencing support.
Although distance students pay for tools, resources, etc. that should help facilitate online learning we
are given access only to the same things in-residence students receive. For example classes using
ECW or blackboard don't have sections tailored for distance students but are directed more toward
in-residence students and we are left to guess or to go to the teacher directly to ask questions.
some subject , professor cannot explain clearly what he want to teach and assign many difficuly
assignments.

What changes, if any, could be made to improve the quality of this program?
Get quality and engaged faculty members for the SyEM program (the IE faculty are OK - some great).
Please pay attention to the search process (the previous one was an embarrassment and an offense to
the SyEM graduate students).
Remove the department altogether
I would consider course recommendations helpful. Many of the courses seem to follow one of two
tracks and having a clearer progression of courses would greatly help in comprehension and
application.
Change the graduate advisor, allow CPT, give in-state fees, then people start coming
I would like for the school and faculty to be more responsive to its students. The level of customer
service I have experienced in the program would not be acceptable in industry. Also, the level of
rudeness by the TA in their communications is surprising. Maybe TAs don’t receive a customer
service class in order to be a TA but it would be helpful so that the school's representatives keep in
mind that the students are its customers. Maybe it is because I have been out of school so long and I
have gotten use to an emphasis on customer service in industry.
With student ratios what they are, I know it is expensive to respond to every inquiry, but as a paying
customer of your services, I do expect responses in a timely manner from each interaction I have with
the university. Even a message indicating the inquiry has been receive and will be responded to in a
defined period of time would be better than wondering if any response will be attempted at all. Best
Regards,
Require designated faculty advisors respond to email within one business day. I have sent numerous
emails to my initial advisor with no to limited response. Distance students do not have the ability to
hunt professors down in person; therefore, email and phone communication is critical for information
flow.
Provide funding for full time PhD students
1. Have a well-established criteria for teaching assignments. / 2. Orient the Ph.D. students on the
administrative stuff (so they can concentrate on research and not on filling paperwork) / 3. Increase the
rigor in the courses / 4. Have the graduate student handbook updated-provide the students with a copy.
/ 5. Establish criteria for departmental scholarships. / 6. Have funding available and everything planned
before offering somebody an admission into a Ph.D program
Improve availability of undergraduate distance courses to meet leveling requirements.
I would improve advising. / / Make access to paper, toner, etc freely accessible to teaching assistants.
Offer more graduate assistantship.
I would like to see each newcomer, distance or local, have a schedule appointment with the advisor
during the first semester.
The department should be revamped, completely. If you can focus on eliminating the weaknesses
pointed out that will improve the program
1. Create a handbook for the S&EM PhD program similar to the IE handbook to provide students with
some program guidance (I was told that the IE handbook does not apply to the S&EM program). / 2.
Orientation program for distance students (I received no orientation other than a 5 minute call to help
me pick classes). / 3. Set response time expectations for emails and phone calls to faculty and staff. Its
not uncommon to wait weeks for a response. Industry norm is 24 hours. / 4. Faculty and staff should
have voicemail. /
It would be nice to have something similar to "go to meeting" or other software solution for both class,
small work group, or advisory meetings.
Understand that there are distance students and start thinking of the needs of these students.

support many program for learning all courses
Please feel free to add any additional comments below.
I have really enjoyed my stay at the IE department, there are quite a few very valuable individuals and
professors. It is a shame to witness how misguided leadership at the top of the University is putting at
risk the survival of a great department. I understand change is necessary to achieve Tier 1 status, but a
broad big hammer is not the best approach. west Texas culture should be allowed to prevail, NASA or
East Coast culture is not West Texas. I chose Texas Tech over A&M and other East Coast universities
basically due to the culture. Now, I am not sure I would recommend anyone to go there.
No Comments. Thanks for giving me this opportunity
On a personal level, I am very happy to be working on my Ph.D. here at Texas Tech and have an
overall positive experience thus far. With respect to surveys, I am of the firm opinion that one should
not execute them without some intention of announcing the results and taking positive action on items
that are spoken loud and clear by a significant number of respondents. If your survey reveals any
"mandate", I hope that you take positive steps and decisive action toward addressing those items.
Graduate students uses as videographers at times don't pay attention, therefore compromising the
quality of video lectures. Also, the graduate advisor is not very consistent about returning emails.
none
The department ain't working well. It needs plenty of changes. Focus on the eliminating weaknesses
pointed out.
This survey was comprehensive and well organized! Also, it accommodated my needs - very quick
with the ratings and, for those that have detailed input, it offered the opportunity to elaborate at the end.
no. I am very happy with the program and the financial support provided by my company. The only
thing that could improve would be the availability of additional scholarship or grant funds.
please add more resource of e journal
