B.S. in Industrial Engineering

The goal of the industrial engineering program is to produce baccalaureate engineers:

• with a strong theoretical base, tempered by analytical, design, laboratory and project experience, emphasizing applications
• with sufficient general educational breadth to view engineering and engineering management as professions having significant social and ethical responsibilities, and who understand the global implications of their professional practice
• who fully understand, and are committed to, lifelong learning and personal / professional growth and development

Another goal is to provide an intimate, interactive learning environment with personal involvement of a faculty with significant industrial and business experience.

MSOE's industrial engineering program also actively collaborates with business and industry on initiatives of mutual benefit to students, faculty and business/industry clients.

Educational Objectives

MSOE’s IE program is committed to producing baccalaureate engineers who, within five years after graduation, will:

• demonstrate management and leadership skills, including negotiating with and influencing others, and leading a project team.
• demonstrate problem-solving skills, utilizing relevant data-driven IE
methods.
• uphold ethical standards and contribute to the broader engineering community.
• drive organizational improvement efforts, providing training, mentoring or subject matter expertise to others.
• understand and adapt to their organization’s long-term strategy, vision and business objectives.
• have a sense of self awareness, intellectual curiosity and readiness for change.

Education Outcomes

At the conclusion of the industrial engineering program at MSOE, the student will have the ability to:

• apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering.
• design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
• design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability.
• function on multi-disciplinary teams.
• identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
• understand professional and ethical responsibility.
• communicate effectively.
• understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context.
• recognize the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning.
• understand contemporary issues.
• use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
• design, develop, implement and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy.
