Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, B.S.
The manufacturing industry in the United States is at a crossroads—industrial & manu-facturing engineers are needed to lead the way in discovering innovative ways to produce quality products quickly and efficiently. If you were the sort of kid who loved problem solving and taking things apart to see how they worked, you were made for an industrial & manufacturing engineering career. The specialties of an industrial & manufacturing engineer are varied. Some might be more involved with prototype design and development while others focus more on how a product can be mass-produced.
Program Description
Much of what industrial & manufacturing engineers need to know for a real-world career must be learned through practice, not books. So like all of our engineering programs, we put a lot of emphasis on hands-on lab work. By working on various projects, we want you to learn more than the nuts-and-bolts of engineering, we want you to learn to think creatively and be a problem solver.
Other important elements of our program are the people skills we teach. After all, engineers need not only technical skills, but also people skills to have a positive impact on a company’s bottom line. Since you will be a bridge between management goals and operational performance, our program will give you valuable training in business and management via class projects.
Career Opportunities
Your IME education opens up three paths after graduation: industry, graduate school in engineering, and/or graduate school in business. Once you begin working in the field, you can enter one or more subspecialties within IME: industrial engineer, quality engineer, environmental health and safety engineer, or manufacturing engineer. While most industrial engineers work in manufacturing industries, you might also work in consulting services, health care, or communications marketing.
