Undergraduate Program

What sets industrial engineering apart from other engineering disciplines is its broader scope. An Industrial Engineer (IE) deals with people as well as things. An IE relates to the total pictures of productivity and quality improvement. Productivity in its simplest terms means producing the most for the least input at the best quality.
An IE looks at the "big picture" of what makes society perform best – the right combination of human resources, natural resources and man made structures and equipment. An IE bridges the gap between management and operations dealing with and motivating people as well as determining what equipment or computers should be used and how they should be used.
The IE Undergraduate Program focuses on the "big pictures" which is evident by recent graduates who have found a broadening of opportunities in the marketplace. Traditionally IEs started their careers in manufacturing facilities, but this trend has been changing. Today about half of our graduates are employed in the service sector while the other half begin their careers in the manufacturing.
