DEGREE: Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering

The objective of the industrial engineering program is to produce graduates who can design and analyze production, service, and distribution systems for manufacturing and service industries as well as for government and research organizations, using mathematics, physical and social sciences along with the principles of engineering analysis and design. They will be able to function on multidisciplinary teams, understand professional and ethical responsibility, and be able to communicate effectively. The graduates will also be prepared to continue advanced study. Students must take the FE exam to complete the degree requirements. Industrial engineering is unique among engineering disciplines in its focus on the human element of the system. As a result, further opportunities in engineering management often develop for industrial engineers. The fully ABET-accredited undergraduate program is the only one in New Mexico.
