About Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineering students obtain a strong foundation in principles and practices to contribute to innovative solutions for complex systems through the integration of people, money, machines, materials, time, and resources for wide range of real-word applications.  Students will gain knowledge in a breath of technical disciplines including design, manufacturing, and information systems, and hone their professional skills in engineering and project management.  In today’s world, students are presented with the opportunity to be ‘decision makers’ and ‘system integrators’ using mathematical models and methods, artificial intelligence, remote sensing for technology-driven innovation to offer pioneering solutions for buildings, factories, hospitals, materials handling, transportation systems, and for many more industries in both the public and private sectors . Industrial engineering students will be workforce ready with the technical knowledge and professional skills to adapt to our ever-changing environment, societal, economic, and political challenges, and emerging technologies.

Careers in Industrial Engineering

With a focus on system integration and efficient use of resources, industrial engineering graduates analyze and design facilities, information systems, manufacturing and production systems, quality control processes, and more. Grounded in data-driven decision-making processes, they play a critical role in a wide variety of industries managing, scheduling, establishing efficient process for quality assurance, personal assignment, logistics, materials handling and resource allocation. Industrial engineers are often well prepared to be the decision-makers and leaders in their field operation.

 

Curriculum 

The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering degree program is designed to provide a synergetic foundation in the discipline of Industrial Engineering through broad educational experience gained through science and engineering courses, our hallmark design sequence with project-based learning activities, and applied research opportunities.  Students will gain knowledge in a breath of technical disciplines including design, manufacturing, and information systems, and hone their professional skills in engineering and project management. Industrial engineering program curriculum delivers a strong foundation in principles and practices that can contribute to innovative solutions for complex systems through the integration of people, money, machines, materials, time, and resources for wide range of real-word applications.
