Minor in Industrial Engineering

A minor in Industrial Engineering is open to all students in the University with the prerequisite of Calculus and Linear Algebra (MATH1341, MATH1342, MATH2321, and MATH2341). The minor is particularly designed for majors in Engineering (other than IE), Mathematics, and Science.

A minimum of four IE courses are required:

Three core courses updated with banner #s:

IE 2310 Introduction to Industrial Engineering 4 SH
IE 3412 Engineering Probability and Statistics 4 SH
IE 4515 Operations Research 4 SH
One IE Technical Elective from the following list*:

IE 3420 Computer Information Systems 4 SH
IE 3425 Engineering Database 4 SH
IE 4510 Digital Simulation Techniques 4 SH
IE 4512 Engineering Economy 4 SH
IE 4516 Quality Assurance 4 SH
IE 4520 Stochastic Modeling 4 SH
IE 4522 Human Machine Systems & IE4523 Lab 5 SH
IE 4525 Logistics and Supply Chain Management 4 SH
IE 4530 Manufacturing Systems and Techniques & IE 4531 Lab 5 SH
*Other IE Technical Electives are available; see your IE Academic Advisor for course suggestions and approval for your Program of Studies

Notes:
  1. Students must file a petition with the IE Academic Advisor prior to taking any coursework.
  2. A student will be given credit toward the minor coursework for a course already taken that has substantial overlap with any IE course (1. and 2. above). For example, if a student has taken ME2315 Statistical and Economic Analysis in Engineering, or CIVE3464 Probability and Engineering Economy, or EECE3468 Noise and Stochastic Processes he/she will be given credit for IE 3412 Engineering Probability and Statistics. A petition should be filed with the IE Academic Advisor to request such a course waiver.
  3. At most one core course substitution is allowed in rare circumstances such as scheduling conflicts. The core course substitution must be approved by the IE Academic Advisor.
  4. Minor is awarded to students completing the requirements and earning a minimum QPA of 2.0 in their minor coursework.
  5. Students should schedule a meeting with the IE Academic Advisor prior to graduation, to be cleared for the minor.
