Undergraduate Program in Industrial Engineering
The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering degree curriculum is a four-year program that progressively develops student skills with courses in math, science, statistics, operations research and design, and important industrial engineering topics. Students follow a sequence of required major courses, and other related technical courses, and have the opportunity to pursue broader interests with technical and humanities/social science electives. As part of the program students also have the opportunity to pursue Internships, Co-Ops and research for credit. Students also have the opportunity to pursue related academic programs and engage in student organizations. The BS IE Program prepares students with diverse skills designed to enable professional success in virtually any industry and in a wide variety of job roles.
Accreditation
The Rutgers University program in Industrial Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Industrial Engineering.
