and Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineering Program
Industrial engineering deals with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.
The industrial engineering faculty are committed to providing
all students the advanced technology background necessary for
success and growth in their selected professions. A program of
study is offered to all students through a carefully designed
curriculum which includes engineering analyses for the design
of man-machine systems, optimization of industrial systems, and
the scie tific management of engineering activities. Specialized
training is available in the use of modern engineering tools and
techniques such as computer assisted design (CAD), robotics, computer
integrated manufacturing (CIM), quality engineering, and ergonomic
(human factors) engineering.

Advising Notes
- Courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in industrial engineering.
- Industrial engineering majors might consider a math or business minor.
- Since the industrial engineering major curriculum is very demanding, many students, especially those not fully prepared in mathematics, chemistry, and/or physics, take 41/2or more years to graduate rather than the traditional four years. Students not fully prepared in chemistry should consider taking CHEM 3A and 1A (lecture only) in lieu of CHEM 1A. If needed, students also may go to the Learning Resource Center in Lab School, Room 137 and request tutorial assistance.
