The industrial engineering discipline applies fundamentals from the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences to efficiently design and analyze large systems that serve industry and government both in manufacturing and service sectors. The undergraduate industrial engineering program at Rutgers provides students with a broad engineering education along with specialization in the industrial engineering and manufacturing fields. Academic strength in mathematics, physics, and basic engineering science is required. These teams frequently formulate and find engineering solutions to real-world industry problems. The ability to communicate effectively is emphasized by having students provide both oral and written reports.
Students pursue graduate studies in engineering and in management at leading institutions.
The IE faculty are dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and professional service. They bring experience, real-life industrial problems, and enthusiasm to the classroom, setting a standard for students to follow in their professional careers.
