Industrial engineers design and improve the production systems for both goods and services. Though industrial engineers have a solid technical background in mathematics and science, they are typically more people and business-oriented than other engineering disciplines. Our research and our graduates directly impact the business bottom line by improving the productivity of individuals and organizations. At the same time, we directly improve quality of life by developing safe and efficient production processes and helping decision makers to improve the competitiveness of their businesses so they survive and thrive. Graduates of our program are highly sought by employers: both service providers and manufacturers.
Individual attention is our strength. Both undergraduate and graduate classes are taught to small groups of students by university faculty and our students are individually advised by faculty members. Active learning exercises and team projects are employed throughout the curriculum. Our “family” atmosphere facilitates the development of lifelong friendships among our students and respect for one another.
I am pleased you have found this web page and invite you to explore our website. Though we try to keep this website up-to-date, I want to warn you that this web page is just the “tip of the iceberg.” We can’t truly represent all we do in text, graphics, and pictures. We’d be pleased to chat with you by phone or in person to share with you personally about our programs.
With warm regards,
