Program Goals

IE gives practitioners the opportunity to work in a variety of businesses. Specifically in our programs, a distinguishing focus has been the integration of humans, machines, and materials to achieve optimum performance of operating systems. More recently the field has expanded to include non-industrial operations involving supply, distribution, transportation, communication and information handling, and safety. Therefore, our program is designed to prepare students for technical careers in production or service industries to obtain the broader skills, background and knowledge necessary to be an effective professional in a rapidly-changing global economy. It provides a strong foundation for those headed for engineering management positions in various field.
