Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering

Major code BS7255 Industrial and manufacturing systems engineers obtain a broad technical background with special attention to productivity, costs, quality, and the human factor in production and other systems. These systems include not only physical systems (such as equipment selection/layout, material handling, etc.), but also information systems (manual and automated information systems, computer networks, data bases, software, etc.) and decision/control systems (master production scheduling, inventory management, quality assurance, performance measurement, etc.).

Upon graduation, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, rationalizing , optimizing, and controlling these large-scale sociotechnical systems. You will also supervise the operation of these systems, taking into account such vital factors as quality, throughput, equipment utilization, costs, ecology, energy conservation, reliability, safety, and health.

As an industrial engineer, you will develop performance measures and standards for equipment, workers, and factories to achieve more effective utilization. You will also apply concurrent engineering principles to design manufacturing systems that fulfill the product realization based on the designs of other engineers.

Consequently, the objectives of the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering is to produce engineers who are able to design, develop, and implement systems that integrate people, materials, equipment,information and energy. Graduates should have the necessary analytical and experimental skills to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems throughout their careers.

To successfully address technical, business, societal, and ethical aspects in their engineered solutions, several necessary skills have been identified. These skills include:

• the abililty to apply concepts of engineering science, mathematics, physics and chemistry
• the ability to code and to utilize software relevant to industrial and manufacturing systems engineering
• the ability to design, conduct and analyze experiments
• interpersonal and professional communication
• teamwork and leadership

In addition, graduates should have a professoinal attitude demonstrated by:

• the identification and recognition of the need to continue learning by both formal and informal means;
• appreciation of the relevance of industrial engineering fundamentals and practice to non-traditional areas;
• integrity, cultural awareness, and ethical behavior

Courses in the first two years of the program are similar to the curricula of other engineering disciplines and provide the necessary foundation upon which advanced engineering work depends. The last two years of work provide the professional-level material, including instruction in analysis and computer applications necessary for the interdisciplinary engineering activities that are required of the modern industrial or manufacturing systems engineer.

An emphasis in the program is the development of good system design skills. In your senior year, you will complete ISE 445, a two-course sequence focusing on applied sytem design. In this course, you will work on a problem related to the design of an actual system, such as a manufacturing information system, an inventory control system, a material handling system, or a quality control system. The projects are provided by local industries that participate in our program. During the senior year, you will also take elective courses in the area that are closest to your career goals.

If you wish to increase the breadth or depth of your knowledge, the department offers courses leading to the M.S.I.S.E. and participates in the college's integrated Ph.D degree program.

Industrial and manufacturing systems engineers follow careers in many fields, including manufacturing,warehousing, transportation, government, banking, insurance, and hospitals. Because of their systems training and experience, many industrial and manufacturing systems engineers move into management positions after a few years on the job. Salaries are excellent and jobs are plentiful. Because of the increasing need for the U.S. to improve productivity to meet international competition, the need for industrial and manufacturing systems engineers in manufacturing and other organizations will remain high.
