Industrial Engineering

Computer and Information Systems (CIS) EFA

The demand for Computer and Information System Analysts is projected to grow as computer technology continues to revolutionize our society. Employment in this area is expected to increase by 35% or more during the period from 2001 and 2010. Industrial Engineers have a natural role to play in this field by using quantitative system analysis, manufacturing system knowledge and human factors skills to help to design and refine computer systems that are becoming ever more complex. The field offers substantial opportunities for technical skill development, travel, and interaction with a diverse range of professionals.

This focus area completes all the requirements for a minor in computer science.
