Welcome to the BSc. Industrial and Systems Engineering

As an engineering industrial and systems major, you’ll get a strong base of math and the physical sciences, fundamental engineering courses, and more specific courses on industrial management, manufacturing, and industrial engineering. You’ll first understand and then optimize the products, processes, tools and technologies used in industry. The goal of the program is to get students to understand and then optimize the products, processes, tools and technologies used in industry and other complex system. Industrial & Systems Engineering students will understand the fundamental concepts required to be a professional in the field, including concepts in mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering while obtaining a more specialized knowledge in industrial management, manufacturing and engineering analysis than can be applied to industrial and other complex systems. Graduates will have the ability to design or optimize complex systems given economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability constraints to meet the needs of society.

Career Path

Industrial & Systems Engineering graduates work in manufacturing and related industries, as well as municipalities, transportation and logistics, healthcare, and many other fields that use complex systems. Examples of job titles include manufacturing engineer, systems engineer, process engineer, project manager, quality engineer and operations manager.
