Industrial Engineering (IE)
Industrial Engineering organizes the people, information, energy, materials and machines involved in the production process, focusing on plant design and management, quality control, and the human factors of engineering, e.g. how humans can best interact with technology. Industrial engineers may use integrated design and manufacturing techniques to renovate the production systems of a Fortune 500 company; develop data-mining tools to analyze and optimize patient care in a major hospital; assess driver distraction due to cell phone use in automobiles and develop safer driver assistance systems.
The B.S.E. in industrial engineering requires a minimum of 128 s.h. The curriculum covers four major stems: mathematics and basic sciences, engineering topics, elective focus area, and general education (15 s.h. of humanities and social science courses). All students take 059:005-059:006 Engineering Problem Solving I-II and 010:003 Accelerated Rhetoric. General education component courses must be selected to satisfy the requirements of the College of Engineering. See "Curriculum Stems" and "General Education Component" under "Bachelor of Science in Engineering" in the College of Engineering section of the Catalog.
Elective focus area courses must be selected according to guidelines established by the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
