 | INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Industrial Engineering
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Industrial engineering is concerned with analysis, design, improvement, and operation of integrated systems of people, machines, and materials. Industrial engineers are employed in all fields of manufacturing, business organizations such as banks, railroads, airlines, insurance companies, and hospitals, to improve the cost and services of all functions. The increasing complexity of industrial operations and the expansion of automated processes, coupled with the continued growth of the nation's industries and international competition, are factors contributing to the demand for industrial engineers.
Industrial engineering draws from specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from systems involving people, machines, materials, and energy. The industrial engineer should combine the basic aptitudes of an engineer with an understanding of the reactions of people in operating systems. About one-half of the program of study consists of basic sciences and engineering courses, accompanied by studies in the humanities. The rest of the work is in the areas of conventional industrial engineering (i.e., plant flow analysis, work management and analysis, etc.), statistical data analysis, engineering economy, systems engineering, ergonomics, manufacturing processes, and operations research, and in emerging disciplines such as flexible manufacturing systems, lean manufacturing, and simulation.
Note: The baccalaureate degree program in Industrial Engineering is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.
