Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering

Sales Engineering Course Options

The Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering now offers a two course sequence in Sales Engineering.  It is recognized that many engineering graduates find themselves involved in technical (i.e. business-to-business) sales activities upon graduation.  The combination of the problem solving skills and the ability to sell ideas is a formidable combination.  The courses offered in the department include IE 450 (Technical Sales for Engineers I) and IE 451 (Technical Sales for Engineers II) and these courses provide the appropriate background and skill set to pursue this lucrative career path.  A formal minor in sales engineering is currently under development.  The department also has established a Sales Engineering Club to allow students with these interests to develop these skills through networking and industrial field trips.
