Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering

B.S. in IE Program Outcomes

 

Program outcomes for the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering describe the students knowledge and skills that you should acquire upon completion of the program. Outcome items (a) through (k) are defined by ABET (the accreditor of engineering programs in the U.S.) for all engineering programs. Outcome items (l) through (p) are additional outcomes defined by the IMSE department. Please note that outcome item (n) among the additional departmental outcomes is specified as Criterion 8 by the Institute of Industrial Engineers(IIE). These additional outcomes (determined from the Program Educational Objectives) along with the ABET specified outcomes foster achievement of the Program Educational Objectives.

(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
(c) an ability to 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
(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
(g) an ability to communicate effectively
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
(l) be able to design, analyze, implement, and manage effective production and service systems
(m) be able to integrate the engineering and business processes of an organization
