Industrial Engineering Program
Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material and equipment. The industrial engineer employs a set of skills that includes mathematical modeling, probability and statistics, computer science, human factors, and interpersonal skills. Thus, industrial engineering may be thought of as applied problem solving, from inception to implementation.
The curriculum in the Industrial Engineering Department is designed to give the student a thorough knowledge in the fundamental principles within the four primary stems of industrial engineering: operations research and optimization, manufacturing, statistical processes, and human factors.
Throughout the program of studies, special emphasis is placed upon application of systems principles in engineering design to assure proper integration of the individual (or individuals), procedures, materials and equipment. Concepts of systems oriented design are integrated throughout the curriculum through an effective integration of computer applications and technology, development of effective communication skills and teaming, improved understanding of engineering design and theory through hands-on laboratory experience and team projects, and an emphasis on business and managerial aspects of design through development of an entrepreneurial business plan.
