Engineering Accreditation Commission

Students completing the undergraduate degree requirements receive the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering & Operations Research (B.S. IEOR). The B.S. IEOR degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Industrial and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering

Program Educational Objectives

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research educates students to become highly skilled in:

1. Quantitative modeling and analysis of a broad array of systems-level decision problems
concerned with economic efficiency, productivity and quality,

2. Development and creative use of analytical and computational methods for solving these
problems,

3. Collection of data and analysis of data using database and decision-support tools

5. Comprehension and modeling of uncertainty, and to

6. Obtain the broader skills, background and knowledge necessary to be an effective
professional in a rapidly changing global economy.

Student Outcomes

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
