Industrial engineers design, install, and improve the complex systems that
provide goods and services vital to our society and economy. These systems place
unique demands for breadth of preparation on industrial engineers. Baccalaureate
degree graduates demonstrate the ability to design, develop, implement, and
improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information,
equipment, and energy. Graduates will demonstrate the ability to apply the
principles and techniques of industrial engineering analysis and design
supported by a foundation in mathematical, physical and social sciences, and
economic, operational, and engineering analyses. Graduates will possess a
breadth of knowledge that allows them to practice industrial engineering with an
appropriate awareness of information issues in systems improvement. In addition,
graduates are able to work and communicate effectively with colleagues at every
level in the organization.
The traditional arenas for the practice of industrial engineering are the
manufacturing facilities of industry; however, many practicing industrial
engineers are employed in non-manufacturing institutions such as hospitals,
banks, and government agencies. In addition to numerous employment opportunities
in professional practice, industrial engineering graduates may further their
formal education. The Department of Industrial Engineering offers programs
leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
