2014-2015 Catalog Addendum
Program educational objectives (the new program educational objectives supersede the old ones as of 11/21/2014)
The objectives of the Industrial and Systems Engineering program are to produce graduates who will:
- Design, develop, and implement systems which integrate people, materials, equipment, information and energy;
- Operate effectively in dynamic and diverse organizations;
- Demonstrate a professional attitude, integrity and commitment to life-long learning in their work.
Requirements for the major in industrial and systems engineering, B.S.E. program
The profession of Industrial and Systems Engineering is about choices. Other engineering disciplines apply skills to very specific areas. Industrial and Systems Engineering gives you the opportunity to work in a variety of businesses. Whether it’s distributing products worldwide, manufacturing superior automobiles, or streamlining the procedures in an operating room, all of these situations share the common goal of increasing efficiencies and saving companies money. The most distinctive aspect of Industrial and Systems Engineering is the career and job flexibility it offers. Industrial and Systems Engineers work in various industries including automotive, energy, health care, advanced manufacturing, defense, logistics, service, aerospace, entertainment and others. The BSE in Industrial and Systems Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

In order to earn the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in industrial and systems engineering, students must complete a minimum of 128 credits, satisfy all general education and SECS degree requirements , as well as meet the following course requirements: 1) General education courses (excluding mathematics and science) - 28 credits
- In order to satisfy both general education and other program requirements, in the following general education areas students should select the from the listed courses:
- In order to graduate on-schedule without taking additional courses, it is highly recommended that students meet with an SECS Undergraduate Academic Adviser concerning the selection of all of their general education courses.
2) Mathematics and science courses – minimum of 32 credits
3) Engineering core courses – 21 credits
4) Professional courses – 47 credits
Professional electives – 8 credits with at least 4 credits from Group A
List of approved math or science electives
Select one course from the following list. It is recommended that students discuss their educational and career interests with an ISE Dept. faculty member or an SECS Undergraduate Academic Adviser prior to selecting this course.
Performance requirements
In addition to all previously stated requirements, satisfactory completion of the industrial and systems engineering program requires a grade point average of at least 2.0 within each of the following three groups of courses: mathematics and science, engineering core, and professional subjects. Within professional subjects, at most two grades below 2.0 are permitted, at most two different courses may be repeated, and a total of three repeat attempts is permitted.
Ethics requirement
All industrial and systems engineering students must also fulfill the ethics requirement. This requirement may be met by completion of PHL 104 . Economics requirement
All industrial and systems engineering students must also fulfill the economics requirement. This requirement may be met by completion of ECN 150 , ECN 201 , ECN 202 or ECN 210 . General business minor
Students may wish to augment their degree with a minor in general business. This may be done by completing 19-23 credits specified by the School of Business Administration (see Minors section in School of Business Administration portion of this catalog). Credits from the minor may be used to satisfy the social science general education requirement and the economics requirement. Sample industrial and systems engineering schedule
Industrial and systems engineering students with the required background may follow a schedule such as the one below. However, students will need additional time to complete the program if they do not have the required background upon entrance to the program. All students should contact the SECS Academic Advising Office before completing their schedule. Fall semester – 16 credits
