Industrial and Systems Engineering

Industrial and systems engineering prepares students for industrial practice in product design, process design, plant operation, production control, quality control, facilities planning, work system analysis and evaluation and economic analysis of operational systems. Students will be prepared to use engineering principles to solve problems that require a quantitative basis for decision making and the application of economics, operations research, statistics, mathematics and engineering analysis, with dependence on the computer.

Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Before Graduating Students Must

• Pass an assessment by two or more faculty and/or industry practitioners of performance on a major design experience.
• Pass assessment in two courses of individual assignments targeted to each learning outcome. Assessment will be provided by the instructor of the course according to department standards.
• Complete an exit interview in your final semester.
• Complete requirements for the baccalaureate degree, as determined by faculty.

Skills Students will Acquire in the Major (SLOs)

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering principles to industrial and systems engineering problems.
2. Design and conduct experiments relevant to industrial and systems engineering processes and problems, as well as to analyze and interpret the data.
3. Design industrial engineering decision support systems and manufacturing/service system processes to meet desired needs within realistic economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability constraints.
4. Communicate technical information effectively in speech and in writing to other industrial engineers and managers.
