- The Industrial & Systems Engineering program is a combination of Industrial Engineering & Systems Engineering. Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and implementation of integrated processes of people, processes, information, materials, management, and equipment. IE’s draw upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences combined with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate processes and systems.
- Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary and structured approach to designing and deploying successful systems to blends engineering, systems thinking, and management topics. Systems engineering deals with work processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools while ensures that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered, and integrated into a whole.
- Students in this major have the opportunity to concentrate in either Industrial or Systems. Due to the relevance of the two disciplines, 75% of the curriculum is shared providing graduates with an expanded job market opportunities while the remaining 25% is directed towards the specifics of each area of engineering.
