Industrial engineers apply systems thinking, practical problem-solving, and advanced technical skills in various ways, such as optimizing automotive plant manufacturing or maintaining safe, cost-efficient workflows in hospitals and surgical centers.
In this role, you'll leverage a distinctive blend of engineering expertise and business management knowledge. Your capacity to see the broader perspective will directly impact an organization's financial health and budget. Industries ranging from automotive and aeronautic manufacturing to healthcare and distribution centers will depend on you for the timely production and delivery of parts, products, and services, as well as for managing their most valuable asset: their workforce.
Our program is practical and career-oriented, with a strong focus on manufacturing, healthcare, and supply chain sectors. You'll gain the skills to design and deploy systems that efficiently integrate people, machinery, materials, energy, and other resources to reduce waste, boost productivity, and maintain quality. Access to cutting-edge facilities, including our performance optimization lab, provides hands-on experience with the human and technological elements involved in complex systems.
Interdisciplinary research projects throughout the curriculum will help you adapt to collaborative work with fellow engineering students, while internships at organizations like the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, MidState Medical Center, Holo-Krome, and Sikorsky will equip you for a thriving career in industrial engineering.
Through our accelerated dual-degree option, you can achieve a BS and MBA in five years or a BS and JD in six years, providing a substantial head start as you launch your professional journey.
