Industrial Engineering - Engineering Management Concentration
Department: Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering and Technology
The baccalaureate programs in industrial engineering and manufacturing engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org.
The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) program with the Engineering Management concentration is most appropriate for technically focused individuals who desire to achieve management-level positions in engineering environments. This concentration focuses on management of technology and intellectual property; research and development; engineering and technical projects; people, resources and organizations; quality; and team-based projects. The courses listed in the following curricular schedule must be completed to meet degree requirements in industrial engineering, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering with the Engineering Management concentration. Students declaring this concentration must also declare and complete the Management & Leadership minor in the Foster College of Business.
