Industrial Engineering Admissions Suspended
As of fall 2004, admissions to the Industrial Engineering program have been suspended. Students with substantial coursework in this area should consult with the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
Program Description
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.
