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, healthcare, advanced and digital manufacturing, defense, logistics, service, aerospace, entertainment and others. The B.S.E. in Industrial and Systems Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
Program educational objectives
The educational objectives of the Industrial and Systems Engineering B.S.E. 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.

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 a 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 1310 . Economics requirement
All industrial and systems engineering students must also fulfill the economics requirement. This requirement may be met by completion of ECN 1500 , ECN 2010 , ECN 2020 or ECN 2100 . 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.
