Industrial and Information Engineering

BS Program

The undergraduate program in industrial and Information engineering provides a strong background in both fundamental engineering principles and the analytic methods necessary for solving the multi-faceted problems associated with the production, maintenance, and delivery of goods and services. In particular, this curriculum emphasizes the knowledge and skills necessary to design integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, and energy wherever they are found, such that the overall system functions at an optimal level and such that the needs of the human components of the system are adequately met.

This program requires a minimum of 132 credit hours to prepare students to contribute to the profession of Industrial Engineering and to prepare them for further study, including professional and graduate education.
