Industrial Engineering Curriculum Information
Below are links for the curriculum sheets and the flow charts for IE majors for the 05-07 catalog, 07-09 catalog, 09-11 catalog, and 11-13 catalog.
For those preferring to remain on the 07-09 catalog after Fall 2009, IME 417 will be automatically substituted for IME 407. In addition, students may substitute any IME manufacturing related course for IME 335/356. The only exception is that IME 241 cannot be taken by IE majors. Courses allowable are: IME 335, IME 356, IME 458, IME 418, IME 416.

Student Advisor List
Technical Electives Guidelines (Updated 06-26-12)
Students must take between 12 and 16 technical elective units (depending on the degree program and catalog year students are under). These courses should be technical in nature and of interest to the student. Students cannot use courses required in their degree program as technical elective courses. Please follow the guidelines as specified below. If you have any questions, please contact your academic advisor. Technical elective forms must be approved by your IME faculty advisor and the IME Department Chair and CENG Engineering Advising Center.
For IE and MFGE students:
IME 400 and 500 require a substitution form and a Special Problems Form (before you register for the course) and no more than 4 total units are allowed.
The courses selected to satisfy this requirement many not be used to satisfy other major, support, or general education requirements (no double counting of coursework).
Technical electives must meet EAC-ABET requirements.
Consultation with advisor is recommended prior to selecting technical electives; bear in mind your selections may impact pursuit of post-baccalaureate studies and/or goals.
IME 240 cannot be used for technical elective credit for IME students.
IME 270 cannot be used for technical elective credit for IME students.
IME 320 cannot be used for technical elective credit because the course is offered for non-engineering majors only.
Industrial Engineering Majors
Select technical electives from the list below:
At least 6 units must be upper level (300-level or above) engineering courses (AERO, BMED, CE, EE,IME, MATE, ME).
IME 322 cannot be used by IE students as a technical elective as the content is too similar to IME 303.
IME 342 cannot be used by IE students as a technical elective.
Approved Technical Elective List for Industrial Engineers:
IME 142, 313, 335, 336, 341, 351, 352, 356, 401, 407, 408, 409, 411, 413, 416, 417, 418, 427, 428, 431, 435, 437, 441, 442, 455, 457, 470, 471, 541, 542, 543, 544, 545, 556, 577, 580

Multi-Disciplinary Teamwork Certification
As part of the requirements for graduation, both IE and MFGE majors must participate in a teamwork experience where they join students from multiple disciplines. For IE Majors this requirement is fulfilled by participation in the team project in IME 319, Human Factors Engineering. For MFGE students this is fulfilled by participation in IME 418, Product Process Design. In addition, all IE and MFGE students will participate with students from other majors when they enroll in IME 144, Introduction to Design and Manufacturing.
