<p>So I am trying to decide on a 4th class for next semester and I want to make sure it is something practical. I know a few of you have MSIE’s or at least know about this stuff and I wanted to know what you thought about Reliability Engineering. Here is the class description: [NC</a> State Course Catalog](<a href=“http://www2.acs.ncsu.edu/reg_records/crs_cat/ISE.html#ISE%20747]NC”>http://www2.acs.ncsu.edu/reg_records/crs_cat/ISE.html#ISE%20747)</p>
<p>Right now I am lined up to take:</p>
<p>Design of Experiments (Stat’s)
Statistical Engineering w/DMAIC (Lean/SS)
Safety Engineering (Required Human Factors course for breadth)</p>
<p>I am deciding between the reliability course and a Quality Engineering course which covers the whole gambit of quality that would add to the focused lean/SS course that I am already taking.</p>
<p>Just as a background I am just finishing my first semester of the MSIE and have taken:
Linear Programming
Applied Stochastic Models
Manufacturing Engineering</p>
<p>Which do you think is more useful in the real world? Thanks!</p>
