Bachelor of Science (BS) degree

The overall goal of the industrial engineering undergraduate curriculum is to produce technically qualified industrial engineers who are capable of successful professional practice in the field. To meet this goal, the curriculum includes in-depth instruction to accomplish the integration of systems using appropriate analytical, computational, and engineering practices.

The curriculum also provides graduates with the necessary educational foundation to pursue advanced studies in industrial engineering or related fields. Furthermore, IE majors can choose a focus area for a set of electives including systems engineering and engineering management, manufacturing, human factors, enterprise computing, and operations research and analytics.

Each semester has an average of 14-16 credit hours of course work. A total of 122 credit hours is required for graduation.

The Industrial Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
