Program Educational Objectives

The set of key, over-arching objectives of the Industrial and Systems Engineering program are to prepare our students, within the first several years of the beginning of their careers, to:

  1. meet the expectations of employers of industrial and systems engineers,

  2. pursue advanced study, if desired,

  3. be active leaders in their profession and/or community.

Student Outcomes to Achieve Program Educational Objectives

In each course in the Industrial & Systems Engineering program, a subset of the student outcomes, listed below, are pursued to prepare students to achieve the Industrial and Systems Engineering program’s stated objectives. This list of student outcomes articulated by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org , have been adopted by the program and are as follows:

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

  2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors

  3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences

  4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

  5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives

  6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
