The academic program in the Industrial Engineering Department covers the core areas of the discipline: optimization, applied probability and statistics, manufacturing system design and management, systems modeling, design and analysis. The interdisciplinary nature of the program prepares the student for a wide range of planning and production positions in public and private enterprises as well as in the service and financial sectors.
Current research in the Industrial Engineering Department centers on the topics of manufacturing systems, supply chain management, financial engineering, simulation, statistical modeling, discrete optimization, stochastic processes, ergonomics, and the dynamics of socio-economic systems. Research and teaching activities involve extensive use of Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing (BUFAIM), Manufacturing Management Systems (MMS), Socio-Economic System Dynamics (SESDYN), Ergonomics (ErgoLab) and the general-purpose undergraduate and graduate computer laboratories, as well as the Engineering School Laboratories.
The course requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering total a minimum of 139 credit hours of formal course work. Students may choose departmental elective and specialization courses in Production/Manufacturing systems, Operations Research, Systems Modelling, Energy and Socio-economic Systems, Ergonomics, and Financial Engineering under the supervision of their advisors. Each student is also required to complete 70 workdays of industrial training during summers.
