Academic Programme:
UG: Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering & Management
Program Specific Criteria (PSC)
PROGRAM CRITERIA FOR INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY AND SIMILARLY NAMED PROGRAMS
Lead Society: Institute of Industrial Engineers
Applicability
These program criteria apply to industrial engineering technology programs and to those with similar modifiers in their titles, leading to either an associate or a baccalaureate degree.
Objective An accreditable program in Industrial Engineering Technology will prepare graduates with the technical and managerial skills necessary to develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. Graduates at the associate level will be prepared for immediate employment, but will also be prepared to continue in baccalaureate studies in industrial engineering technology and related upper level studies. Graduates at the baccalaureate level will be prepared for careers in higher levels of system design, integration, and management.
Outcomes Graduates must demonstrate the ability to accomplish the integration of systems using appropriate analytical, computational, and application practices and procedures. Graduates at the baccalaureate level must demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge of probability, statistics, engineering economic analysis and cost control, and other technical sciences and specialties necessary in the field of industrial engineering technology.
