Upon graduation, you will be responsible for designing, analyzing, rationalizing, optimizing, and controlling these large-scale sociotechnical systems. You will also supervise the operation of these systems, taking into account such vital factors as quality, throughput, equipment utilization, costs, ecology, energy conservation, reliability, safety, and health.
As an industrial engineer, you will develop performance mmeasures and standards for equipment and workers to achieve more effective utilization. You will also apply engineering principles to design systems that meet the technical and economic requirements.
Consequently, the primary objective of the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering is to produce engineers who are able to design, develop, and implement systems that integrate people, materials, equipment,information and energy. Graduates should have the necessary analytical and experimental skills to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
To successfully address technical, business, societal, and ethical aspects in their engineered solutions, several necessary skills have been identified. These skills include:
In addition, graduates should have a professoinal attitude demonstrated by:
Courses in the first 1-2 years of the program are similar to the curricula of other engineering disciplines and provide the necessary foundation upon which advanced engineering work depends. The last two years of work provide the professional-level material, including instruction in analysis and computer applications necessary for the interdisciplinary engineering activities that are required of the modern industrial or manufacturing systems engineer.
An emphasis in the program is the development of good system design skills. In your senior year, you will complete ISE 445, a two-course sequence focusing on applied system design. In this course, you will work on a problem related to the design of an actual system, such as a manufacturing information system, an inventory control system, a material handling system, or a quality control system. The projects are provided by local industries that participate in our program. During the senior year, you will also take elective courses in the area that are closest to your career goals.
If you wish to increase the breadth or depth of your knowledge, the department offers courses leading to the M.S.I.S.E. and participates in the college's integrated Ph.D degree program.
Industrial and manufacturing systems engineers follow careers in many fields, including manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, government, banking, insurance, and hospitals. Because of their systems training and experience, many industrial and manufacturing systems engineers move into management positions after a few years on the job. Salaries are excellent and jobs are plentiful. Because of the increasing need for the U.S. to improve productivity to meet international competition, the need for industrial and manufacturing systems engineers in manufacturing and other organizations will remain high.
