DEGREE: Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineers are primarily concerned with the analysis, design, and control of production, service, and distribution systems. They draw upon specialized knowledge and skills in mathematical, physical, and social
sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the result to be obtained from such systems. Industrial engineering is unique among engineering disciplines in its focus on the human element in systems. Industrial engineers are employed in manufacturing, hospitals, utility companies, retailing, government agencies, research organizations, consulting firms. Further opportunities in management often develop for industrial engineers. The undergraduate program is fully accredited by ABET and is the only one in New Mexico.
