about us

In the IME Department, our main focus is to prepare graduates for practice in professional engineering. Our Learn by Doing philosophy is emphasized in the curriculum by the large number of design-centered laboratories, integrating design throughout the curriculum, and the senior project capstone design experience. These prepare graduates for careers in: operations management, production planning and scheduling, facility design, human factors design, data analysis and decision-making, quality control and reliability, economic and resource planning, and process improvement.

Program Educational Objectives

The Bachelor of Science program in Industrial Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.ABET.org, under the General Criteria and the Industrial and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria.  Within three to five years of graduation, the alumni of the Industrial Engineering undergraduate program will:

  1. Make immediate contributions towards the design and implementation of innovative, effective solutions for improving processes and systems in society, business, and industry.
  2. Have successful careers as engineering professionals with increasing responsibility and impact in their careers.
  3. Will communicate and function effectively in a collaborative and inclusive team, and will recognize the economic, societal, and ethical impacts of their decisions.
  4. Effectively adapt to changes in technology and our global society over the course of their professional lives by continuously learning.
     

The Bachelor of Science program in Manufacturing Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.ABET.org, under the General Criteria and the Manufacturing and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria. Within three to five years of graduation, the alumni of the Manufacturing Engineering undergraduate program will:
