A program in Occupational Safety and Ergonomics is offered to masters level graduate students in the Department of Industrial Engineering (IE) at NCSU, to provide educational opportunities to engineering students interested in pursuing industrial, consulting, or academic careers in occupational safety and ergonomics, or related areas.
The objectives for the training program in Occupational Safety and Ergonomics (OS&E) are to provide education, training, and support to masters level graduate students seeking an advanced engineering degree with a concentration in OS&E. Participants take a specific set of required courses to satisfy a minor in Safety, and engage in an Applied Practicum in OS&E to demonstrate skill competence. Participants will graduate with the skills necessary to recognize, assess, and develop and implement engineering and administrative controls for general occupational safety and ergonomics hazards.
The OS&E program is designed to satisfy the requirements of the NCSU IE department, as well as meet the needs of engineers who wish to assume responsibilities in occupational safety and ergonomics.
