2024-2025 Undergraduate Catalog
Industrial Engineering, B.S.
|
|
The industrial engineering program provides a broad scientific and engineering design education to be successful in a variety of industrial pursuits including manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and logistics. The industrial engineer develops and maintains systems addressing complex industrial problems and is principally concerned with reducing system wastes while improving reliability. The industrial engineer must be well versed in basic engineering science, mathematics, and statistics, and have excellent communication skills.
The industrial engineering program is on track to receive accreditation by the EAC (Engineering Accreditation Commission) of ABET (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) by 2028. Accreditation can be retroactively applied to up to two academic years.
Graduates of the program are prepared to:
- design a system or process to meet client requirements within economic, social, and physical constraints;
- identify, formulate, and communicate complex industrial problems, and their solutions, to a community of peers and the general public;
- function on, and lead, multidisciplinary teams to meet project objectives; and
- manage the scope, cost, timing, and quality to successfully complete projects for stakeholders.
To graduate, students must fulfill the core requirements of the degree program for a total of 124.5 credits as described in the Program Requirements. A requirement of the major may not be used to satisfy an elective of the major.
