For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering Industrial engineering reflects the global, systems-oriented way we look at the world today.
Industrial engineers focus on systems and how their components fit together.
To solve complex systems problems, engineers must understand people as well as technology. Consequently, industrial engineering draws upon a variety of disciplines, from mathematics to psychology, from communications to computer science, from production management to process control. Industrial engineers design efficient, productive systems in a wide range of business, industrial, and governmental settings. The technical portion of the industrial engineering curriculum is designed as a sequence of increasingly specialized experiences. Building on this base, in the second year students begin to take fundamental engineering courses such as statics, dynamics, statistics, and strength of materials.
