Dr. Tucker believes that anyone who is able to put in the work is capable of becoming an industrial engineer. She's committed to helping you prepare for your future career.
In Fall 2025, Dr. Tucker is teaching a core IE MS class: Engineering Optimization and Applications (IE 8030). The focus is on linear and integer programming as well as their applications. It's one of her favorites to teach!
She has previously taught:
Optimization under Uncertainty (IE 8850) - an operations research PhD elective that focuses on stochastic programming and robust optimization
Engineering Optimization and Applications (IE 8030) - a core MS class in Clemson IE that focuses on linear and integer programming as well as their applications
Transportation and Logistics Engineering (IE 4570/6570) - an upper-level undergraduate/masters technical elective at Clemson that covers a variety of modeling problems related to transportation and logistics (e.g., facility location, procurement, vehicle routing, traffic equilibrium)
Operations Modeling (IOE 202) - a required sophomore class at the University of Michigan that is an introduction to several types of industrial engineering methods
If you're one of her students - please come by her office hours! Dr. Tucker would love to see you and talk about class or your career. These times are set aside specifically for you. She promises not to be intimidating (and seriously - there are no dumb questions!).
