Department of INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering

Chair: Ben Wang; Professors: Awoniyi, Braswell, Wang; Associate Professors: Pignatiello, Zhang; Assistant Professors: Okoli, Simpson; Visiting Professor: Li; Visiting Associate Professors: Liang, Owusu; Instructor: Cutwright; Adjunct Professors: Booeshaghi, Braswell; Adjunct Instructor: Moshir

Industrial engineering (IE) provides a broad technical background with special emphasis on manufacturing systems, computer modeling, costs, quality, management, and human factors. Industrial engineering draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering design and analysis, to specify, predict, and evaluate industrial systems.

The program of study includes engineering analysis for the optimization of industrial systems, design of man-machine systems, and the scientific management of activities. Specialized training is available in the use of modern engineering tools and techniques such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), and ergonomic (human factors) engineering.

Industrial engineers (IEs) pursue careers in manufacturing, service industries, and government. In addition, many IEs are now being employed in nontraditional fields such as hospitals, banks, insurance, and information processing. The present and future demand for IEs appears to be very high. IEs are increasingly being called upon to act as productivity catalysts in manufacturing and service organizations in order to meet regional, national, and international demand and competition.

Grade Requirements

In addition to University and college requirements regarding grades and grade point average (GPA), the Department of Industrial Engineering (IE) requires that the IE major achieve a grade within the "C" range or higher for all required IE courses.

ABET Engineering Criteria

The BSIE curriculum is designed to comply with the current ABET criteria for accrediting engineering programs. The BSIE curriculum has the following four educational objectives:

  1. To educate and train students to have broad technical backgrounds to work as industrial engineers in manufacturing and other industries;
  2. To prepare students, especially women, African Americans and other minorities for successful industrial engineering careers;
  3. To provide industrial engineering graduates with sufficient knowledge to continue their studies at a graduate level;
  4. To provide industrial engineering graduates with teamwork, communication and engineering management skills;

To achieve these curricular objectives, all industrial engineering students must demonstrate or exhibit specific graduate attributes or program outcomes. Students are instructed to contact their academic advisor or visit the departmental website at http://www.ie.eng.fsu.edu to obtain the current list of industrial engineering program outcomes.
