About Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineers are concerned with designing and improving business operations. They apply math, science, and technology to improve the efficiency, quality and productivity of creating and delivering goods and services and to act as the interface between technology and humans. Engineering methods and practical knowledge are used in formulating decision models for the optimum application of engineering and management principles. As a student, you can find more information below that pertains directly to your major.
As curriculum changes between different catalog years, you may question what courses automatically transfer between catalogs. The following changes below apply to IE majors only and a petition will not be required.
