| As defined by the Institute of Industrial
Engineers (IIE), Industrial Engineering is
concerned with the design, improvement and
installation of integrated systems of people,
materials, information, equipment and energy.
The industrial engineer must consider not
only the behavior of inanimate objects as
they are governed by physical laws but also
the behavior of people as they operate together
in organizations. |
|
| |
| The Bachelor
of Science (BS) in Industrial Engineering emphasizes areas of study such as simulation and
modeling, manufacturing systems, human factors/
ergonomics, and engineering management. It is also
soundly based in the traditional industrial engineering
areas such as work measurement and simplification,
probability and statistics, and facility and work
place design. Students may get practical industry
experience via internships or co-ops at their junior
and senior years. The program is accredited by
the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC)
of ABET. |
