Industrial and Systems Engineering, BS

The BS Industrial and Systems Engineering program, offered by the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering , prepares engineers for a broad scope of systems analysis and design challenges that deal with improving the overall performance of an organization or system. The Industrial and Systems Engineering Bachelor of Science degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Program Criteria and the Industrial and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria.

Program Learning Outcomes

Program Roadmaps

The 4-Year Roadmap is available online. Roadmaps should be used in consultation with the catalog and your advisor to identify additional requirements for completing the major (for example, course grade minimums). Associate Degrees (ADT) Pathways are also available online.
