Industrial and Systems Engineering Minor

Industrial and Systems Engineering Minor

EG

The principles and tools of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) are used in almost all industries, including manufacturing and service industries. The intention of the minor is to equip students majoring in a particular engineering field with foundational and critical industrial engineering knowledge and skills in order to easily seek employment opportunities and be successful once employed. For example, a civil engineer can use a linear programming model to optimize his/her design when designing a new building or bridge, an electrical and computer engineer can use the knowledge of operations research to improve the circuit design, and a mechanical engineer can use appropriate inventory model to streamline the automobile assembly process. The proposed ISE minor is designed to meet the needs of these students, as well as to offer the opportunity to enrich any major with the fundamental and the practical knowledge of ISE to optimize designs and improve process efficiencies.
