 Industrial
and Systems Engineering
The Department of Industrial and Systems
Engineering offers comprehensive programs
leading to the degrees of B.S. and B.S./M.S. in industrial
and systems engineering.
The curriculum is designed to provide students with the skills and
training necessary to become successful practitioners, and focuses
principles of mathematics; physical engineering, and behavioral
sciences; engineering design; and humanities and social sciences.
To help prepare students for careers as industrial
and systems engineers, the
Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering provides access to a variety
of courses and facilities, a faculty with diverse industrial experience,
and a program that emphasizes practical applications as well as
theoretical developments in industrial and
systems engineering.
Educational
Objectives
- To model people-technology systems using
the techniques of mathematics, science, and engineering;
- To design potential solutions to problems
and evaluate the consequences of their solutions in the broader
context of the organization, society, and the environment;
- To effectively communicate the benefits of
their proposed solutions using written, oral and electronic media
- To function effectively and provide leadership
within an organization as a professional and ethical member of
society, including the ability to facilitate and participate in
multi-disciplinary teams;
- To initiate and complete self-directed learning
for professional and personal development especially with respect
to contemporary issues.
Outcomes
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics,
science and engineering
- An ability to design and conduct experiments,
as well as analyze and
interpret data.
- An ability to design a system component
or process to meet design needs
- An ability to function on multi-disciplinary
teams
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve
engineering problems
- An understanding of professional and ethical
responsibility
- An ability to communicate effectively
- A broad education necessary to understand
the impact of engineering solutions in a global and social context.
- A recognition of the need for, and an ability
to engage in life-long learning
- A knowledge of contemporary issues
- An ability to use the techniques, skills,
and the modern engineering tools necessary for engineering.
Integrated
B.S./M.S. Sequence
This plan is open to all industrial
and systems engineering
majors who have finished at least 90 semester hours of undergraduate
work and who have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00. When students
enter the integrated sequence, they must formulate a detailed plan
of study and work closely with a faculty advisor
Advising
Advising is an integral part of the undergraduate experience. Advisers
are helpful in developing meaningful educational plans compatible
with the students' career and life goals. As students progress through
their academic program, their advising needs may change. The academic
advisers of the Department of Industrial and
Systems Engineering are prepared
to help students in meeting these ongoing and multifaceted needs.
Advising is mandatory at the Department of Industrial
and Systems Engineering. Without proper advising, a student may unduly take
courses that do not contribute to his/her program of study, and
end up delaying graduation. Good advising ensures that the student
satisfies general education requirements, accreditation requirements,
and above all, the student's career objectives and educational goals.
The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering has caring faculty who
take interest in the students' program of study, their concerns,
and help them attain their goals.
All undergraduate students must
see their advisers every semester and get their approval for enrolling
in the following semester's classes. Each undergraduate student
entering the program will be automatically assigned an adviser by
the department and a student can change his/her adviser by informing
the department office. New students will be directed to the department
office by the Office of the Associate Dean and will be scheduled
to meet with an adviser. Current students can schedule appointments
on their own with their advisers.
Before seeing their advisers, students must familiarize
themselves with the program requirements described in the undergraduate
catalog, review the Schedule of Classes for courses availability
and schedule, and pick up the appropriate advising forms from the
department office. After selecting the courses for the following
semester with the help of their advisers, students must complete
the advising forms fully, sign, and submit them to the department
office. During registration, if a student has to deviate from the
courses recommended by his/her adviser, then the adviser should
be notified immediately.
In academic advising, it is the student's responsibility
to:
- Read and use the Undergraduate
Catalog
- Know the requirements of their academic program
- Seek advise from their advisers at appropriate
times
- Schedule and keep appointments in a timely manner
- Be prepared for advising sessions
Regular contact with academic advisers will:
- Help students clarify their goals and plans
- Provide accurate information about their
educational options, requirements, policies and procedures
- Allow for ongoing evaluation of their academic
progress
- Help locate and integrate the many resources
of the university
As stated in the undergraduate catalog, "It
is the responsibility of the students to know and observe all regulations
and procedures relating to the program they are pursuing. In no
case will a regulation be waived or an exception granted because
students plead ignorance or contend they were not informed of the
regulations and procedures."
