To realize the mission of
the department, the following educational objectives have
been adopted for the undergraduate program. These objectives
cover the fundamentals of both engineering and the
humanities that characterize a university education, plus
the specialized knowledge of industrial and systems engineering
needed for a successful career in industry, the government,
or academia.
- To produce graduates who can use their broad educational
experience, ethical judgment, and systems thinking to
impact the community in a positive way.
- To produce graduates with core competencies in engineering
fundamentals.
- To produce graduates to successfully apply Industrial
Engineering methodologies effectively to analyze, design,
and implement integrated systems.
- To produce graduates who can function effectively
in the work environment through participation in teams,
leadership and effective communication skills.
- To produce graduates who are able to continue learning
throughout their careers.
Students take courses in facilities design,
human factors engineering, financial decision making, manufacturing
systems design, production and inventory control, statistics
and quality control, computer modeling/simulation and systems
management. ISEEM graduates might find themselves in such
diverse industries as electronics, automotive, manufacturing,
aerospace, government agencies, and health care. An ISEEM
professional may design the facility for the best product
flow through the plant; Use computer simulation to test
various alternative design decisions; help design the inside
compartments for the next space shuttle considering the
limited space requirement and human interface with the controls;
help design or track a total process system to help coordinate
all functions for a successful end product; or help track
quality using statistical methods.
Our Vision |
To achieve a national reputation for a curriculum that integrates current concepts in systems thinking, the elimination of process and resource waste, and reduction of variability; and to develop nationally recognized research programs in team development, complex system design, process improvement frameworks, and logistic systems. |
