Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering
The goal of the Industrial Engineering program is to educate our students for leadership positions in a broad spectrum of employment including manufacturing, supply chain management and logistics, health care, banking, information management, and related disciplines. Our graduates will lead their organizations to competitive advantage by applying the tools and techniques of industrial engineering. We believe that exposing students to diverse industries in our educational program will enhance their professional skills.
The Industrial Engineering Program is designed to provide students with the ability to:
- identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
The Industrial Engineering program offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) aiming to equip students for diverse roles in operations management, manufacturing, and healthcare. It emphasizes applying industrial engineering tools effectively, fostering leadership for competitive advantage. Direct exposure to a variety of industries integrated into our educational program significantly enhances students' professional skills and prepares them for diverse career paths
