The Industrial Engineering program deals with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. The program draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, to predict, and to evaluate the results obtained from such systems.

The program provides a strong foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, information technology, methods improvement programs, work measurement, optimization, quality engineering, systems engineering, ergonomics, logistics and supply chain, and production systems. In the final year of the program, the student may choose electives in any of the following tracks: Ergonomics, Organization and Decision Making, and Production Systems.

Ergonomics is concerned with fitting the tasks to man including the design of facilities to enhance their operational use in improving the quality of work. Organization and Decision Making involves allocation of limited resources to organized systems using the theory and methods of statistics, mathematical modeling, and optimization. Production Systems focuses on the analysis, design, installation and maintenance of operational and management systems or subsystems in the production and distribution of goods and services.
