Industrial Engineering is a dynamic
profession with credible growth and increasing importance. Industrial
engineers design and develop systems of people, facilities, materials
and equipment. As problem solvers, industrial engineers are equipped
with practical and scientific tools to tackle complex industrial
problems and to increase the productivity of workers, capital
and facilities. The industrial engineering curriculum
provides a broad background in humanities and social sciences,
mathematics, physical sciences and engineering science, analysis,
design and systems. It provides a good balance between the traditional
industrial engineering subjects and the most recent developments
in the discipline. Industrial engineering students take courses
in work analysis and design, process design, human factors, facilities
planning and layout, engineering economic analysis, production
planning and control, systems engineering, computer utilization
and simulation, operations research, quality control, automation,
robotics and productivity engineering. The program is designed
to provide the student with a good foundation of basic concepts
and principles in addition to applied engineering techniques.
The department and university laboratories and equipment, including
computers, are integrated into the course work throughout the
program. The industrial engineering curriculum
has been accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology and is designed to prepare the student for direct
entry into the engineering profession or graduate school. Graduates
of the program are prepared to do productive work in their first
job as well as to grow with their profession during their careers.
An important feature of the program
is the close relationship between the faculty and students. The
industrial engineering faculty is well qualified by education
and professional engineering experience to provide the program
with an applied and "real-world" flavor. Career opportunities for industrial
engineers are excellent. Industrial engineers are employed by
almost all types of organizations, namely, industrial companies,
service firms and governmental agencies. Industrial engineers
are trained to provide valuable service to management in decision
making on the best use of people, materials, equipment, information
and energy. They are the engineers who design and implement productivity
and quality improvement methods for industry. The demand for
industrial engineers has always been excellent and this trend
will continue as evidenced by a recent forecast by the National
Research Council. Industrial engineering students are encouraged to join the Cal Poly Pomona chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers. Eligible students may be invited to join the departmentally-sponsored chapter of Alpha Pi Mu, the national industrial engineering honor society. There are also student chapters of the American Foundrymen's Society, American Society for Quality and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. |
