Dear Dr. Cascon,

Good day sir!

We are 4th Year Industrial Engineering students; we are writing to you if you can
reconsider us simultaneously taking two major subjects even though one subject is a pre-
requisite of the other subject.
We are currently taking “IE 20 Quality Management System” (off-sem) this second
semester and we would also like to take “IE 25 Operations Management” (open this semester),
but the problem is that pre-requisite of IE 25 is IE 20. We want to take this subject so that on
first semester 5th year school year 2022-2023 “IE 39 Project Feasibility”, we forecast that we
will finish this program in December 2022.
Below is our current program of study.
Fourth Year

IE Elective 3 3 0 4th yr standing
ESO 221 Technopreneurship 3 0 IE 14, 4th yr

IE 22 Ergonomics 1 2 1 IE 17

IE 47 Supply Chain Management 3 0 IE 25
IE 39 Project Feasibility 2 1 IE 23, IE 25, ESC 23
TOTAL 5 1 6

In this current POS it will take us 2 semester fifth year to finish the program and it could
be a great burden on our financial because only 2 subjects on fifth year second semester are
open, if we will not take IE 25 this semester.
Below is our proposed program of study if we can take IE 25 this second semester.

In this proposed program of study, it will take us fifth year first semester to finish the
program if we can take IE 25 this semester. It will be a great ease on our part if we able to
finish this program by December 2022.
Hoping for your kind consideration and response ASAP. We are open to any
clarifications and suggestions on our POS.

Sincerely yours,
