ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½

Full Description

The Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering prepares students to design, analyze and improve complex systems that integrate people, technology and processes. Students complete a strong foundation in mathematics, science and engineering, followed by coursework in operations research, quality, risk analysis, decision making and digital engineering.

During their senior year, students select either the Industrial Engineering track, focusing on process control, quality and risk, or the Systems Engineering track, emphasizing model-based systems engineering, decision analysis and digital transformation. Graduates are prepared for careers in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, aerospace and other industries in which efficiency, safety and innovation are essential. The program is designed to align with ABET accreditation standards for both industrial and systems engineering.

Admission Requirements

Admission to the Industrial and Systems Engineering major is selective. Applicants should understand that this is a math-intensive program, and the roadmap assumes students start with MATH 12002 their first semester. Students admitted to the program are expected to demonstrate prerequisite knowledge on a math placement assessment (the ALEKS math assessment) or via other means (e.g., , , , ) prior to registering for their first semester. Students who do not place into MATH 12002 will likely take longer than eight semesters to complete the program.

New Students: Admission into this major requires:

• Minimum 3.0 high school GPA
• Clear demonstration of an ability to be placed directly into MATH 12002 (or its equivalent); this will occur if the student has earned a minimum C grade in all math courses listed on the high school transcript (e.g., trigonometry, algebra, geometry)

Students who do not meet the above requirements will be admitted to the , provided they meet the minimum admission requirements.

Current Students: Students accepted into other ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ programs may request to change their major to Industrial and Systems Engineering once they meet the following criteria:

• Minimum 12 credit hours of ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ coursework
• Minimum 3.000 overall ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ GPA
• Minimum B grade in MATH 11022 or minimum C grade in MATH 12002
• Minimum C grade in PHY 23101

Transfer Students: Admission into this major requires:

• Minimum 12 credit hours of college-level coursework
• Minimum 3.000 overall GPA
• Minimum B grade in MATH 11022 or minimum C grade in MATH 12002 (or their equivalents)
• Minimum C grade in PHY 23101

Transfer students who have completed fewer than 12 credit hours of college-level coursework will be evaluated on both collegiate and high school records and must submit a final high school transcript.

International Students: All international students must provide proof of proficiency of the English language (unless they meet specific exceptions) through the submission of an English language proficiency test score or by completing English language classes at ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½’s English as a Second Language Center before entering their program. For more information, visit the admissions website for international students.

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates of this program will be able to:

1. Apply systems thinking and engineering analysis to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems across industrial and service environments.
2. Design, implement and optimize processes and systems that meet specified needs with consideration of public health; safety; welfare; and global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
3. Leverage modern tools, digital engineering and data analytics to support decision making, risk assessment and process control.
4. Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including written reports, oral presentations and visual models.
5. Function effectively with teams, demonstrating leadership, collaboration and project management skills.
6. Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities, understanding the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
7. Engage in lifelong learning through adaptability, continuous improvement and application of emerging engineering methods and technologies.

Roadmap

This roadmap is a recommended semester-by-semester plan of study for this program. Students will work with their advisor to develop a sequence based on their academic goals and history. Courses designated as critical (!) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation.
