A numerical ceiling of 90 students per year exists for industrial and systems engineering. Students with a 3.00 CPHR receive automatic admission, students with less than a 3.00 CPHR are admitted on a space-available basis. The department cooperates with the College of Engineering programs for high school students and parents. Special open information meetings for freshmen and undecided undergraduates are scheduled and individual conferences may be arranged with faculty members or an academic adviser by contacting the department. The GEC is a body of courses designed to ensure that each student becomes acquainted with the basic areas of academic study.
Some majors also require completion of a foreign language requirement.
The core curriculum in the major requires that students complete courses in applied operations research, manufacturing, and human factors engineering. By planning the selection of technical electives, students can pursue any of these three core areas in depth.
