Industrial and Management Systems Engineering

Course Descriptions - Faculty - Printable Degree Requirements

Mission Statement

The mission of the IMSE Department is to provide students with a high quality education which integrates the latest research and practices of the field into the curriculum; to pursue excellence in basic and applied research in the field of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering; and to provide service to the profession and to society.

Objectives

The Department’s objectives are to

  1. provide students with a thorough understanding of the concepts and pratices of industrial and systems engineering and the related mathematical and scientific principles.
  2. provide students with an understanding of the ethical, human, and business aspects of engineering activities.
  3. provide students with the ability to think creatively, to communicate effectively, and to work in teams.
  4. prepare and motivate students to have successful careers, to pursue graduate studies and other life-long learning opportunities, and to actively participate in society.

Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering degree program take designated, specialized coursework in industrial processes, work analysis, production control, facilities design, operations research, human factors, computer simulation, quality control, and robotics and automation. This coursework is supplemented by engineering electives and comprehensive industrial engineering design projects.

Students completing this program are prepared for graduate study or for careers in a broad range of industries, business, and public service areas. The strength of industrial engineering lies, in part, in its breadth and the applicability of its common body of knowledge in a wide variety of enterprises. Students may be involved in traditional areas of manufacturing and production, or state-of-the-art functions in automation and robotics. The same engineering principles are also applied to business organizations, service delivery systems, i.e. airlines, banks, hospitals, etc. and governmental administration.

The schedule which follows indicates how a serious, well prepared student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy degree requirements in four academic years. Students without a solid foundation and those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan on a slower pace.

In addition to the College's graduation requirement, the department has the following policies:

  1. Mandatory academic advising of students for each term.
  2. Exit interviews as a graduation requirement, and;
  3. All graduating seniors must take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.

Four-Year Curriculum in Industrial and Management Systems Engineering

Prerequisites (State Mandated Common Prerequisites) for Students Transferring from a Community College:

If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.

Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the University. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade.

Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university.
