Industrial Engineering B.S.I.E.UMD Mechanical/Industrial Engineering
Swenson College of Science and Engineering
The mission of the bachelor of science in industrial engineering program is to deliver a hands-on, laboratory-intensive undergraduate education that provides students with the tools and skills to excel in the profession as they pursue lifelong learning and make positive contributions to society. The program emphasizes integrated systems and offers unique opportunities for undergraduate research.
The educational objectives of the industrial engineering program are to produce graduates who:
1. Solve industrial engineering problems by applying contemporary engineering tools to propose and implement effective solutions.
2. Design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment, and energy.
3. Contribute as informed, ethical, and responsible members of the engineering profession and society as a whole.
4. Continue lifelong professional development throughout their careers.
5. Collaborate and communicate effectively with others as members or leaders of engineering or multidisciplinary teams in international settings.
Industrial engineering integrates topics from manufacturing, management, service, and traditional design. Industrial engineers are proficient in the design, improvement, and management of complex systems of people, materials, equipment, and energy. They study and adapt product designs and the associated plant facilities to optimize production, while considering economic, technical, and human factors.
The curriculum rounds out the learning experience by providing skills in the mathematical and physical sciences, economics, composition, and humanities and social sciences.
The industrial engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
The industrial engineering program emphasizes the overall perspective of people and productivity in any type of system, including manufacturing, service, health care, transportation, communication, and agriculture.
Honors requirements: To graduate with department honors, a student must graduate with a 3.40 GPA, be an active member of Tau Beta Pi or a professional engineering society (ASME, ASSE, IIE, MSPE, SME or SWE), and be nominated by a department faculty member.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
Admission Requirements
Freshman and transfer students are usually admitted to pre-major status
before admission to this major.
Freshman, sophomores, and transfer students may declare an IE major and be admitted to lower division status. Admission to upper division B.S.I.E. program is competitive and based on performance in lower division courses, and space availability. To be considered, students must complete the MIE Application to upper division. The following requirements must be met:
1. Completion of the following courses or their transfer equivalents:
- WRIT 1120
- CS 1121 or 1411 or 1511 or 2121
- ENGR 1222
- CE 2017
- ME 2105
- MATH 3280
2. A minimum cumulative University of Minnesota, Duluth GPA of 2.50
Applicants not meeting these requirements may be admitted to the upper division B.S.I.E. program on a space-available basis with priority determined by cumulative University of Minnesota, Duluth GPA.
For information about University of Minnesota admission requirements, visit the
Office of Admissions
website.
General Requirements
Program Requirements
1. A minor or second major is not required for B.S.I.E.
2. Students must submit application to the upper division B.S.I.E. program and, if accepted, must remain in good academic standing. BSIE upper division students placed on academic probation will also be removed from upper division BSIE status and will not be readmitted to BSIE upper division until they achieve good academic standing with the University.
Students must complete a minimum of 32 credits of math and science courses. The mechanical engineering curriculum uses the math and science required courses, listed below, to meet this requirement. Courses transferred from other institutions may transfer with fewer credits than the UMD equivalent(s). In this case, to reach the 32 credit minimum, additional coursework within the approved subjects of BIOL, CHEM, ESCI, GEOL, MATH, PHYS, and STAT at the 1xxx - 4xxx level, can be applied to satisfy this credit difference.
Math and Science Required Courses (32 cr)
Students who transfer courses with fewer credits than the UMD equivalent(s) must complete an additional approved math or science credits as noted above.
