Program Overview
Industrial Engineering (IE) is a discipline that applies engineering principles to the design and operation of organizations. Industrial Engineering students learn to analyze, design, implement, control, evaluate and improve the performance of complex organizations, taking into consideration people, technology and information systems. Industrial engineers use operations research, information engineering, artificial intelligence and human factors tools and methods to improve and optimize systems operations and performance. Industrial engineers share the common goal of increasing an organization's efficiency, profitability and safety in a variety of industries including health care, finance, retail, entertainment, government, information technology, transportation, energy, manufacturing and consulting. Unlike traditional disciplines in engineering and the mathematical sciences, IE addresses the role of the human decision-maker as a key contributor to the inherent complexity of systems and the primary benefactor of the analyses.
