The Industrial and Systems Engineering (INSY) curriculum draws on specialized
skills in the mathematical, physical and social sciences to develop a student's
ability to deal with economic, technical and human performance considerations
in design and analysis and control of industrial and service systems. The curriculum
provides a solid core of courses in systems analysis and design along with courses
in ergonomics and economic analysis. Design experience is integrated throughout
the curriculum starting in the sophomore year and culminates in a one semester
senior design project in which students apply their knowledge to the solution
of real world problems. Technical and departmental engineering elective courses
provide flexibility in the program.
The degree provides graduates with broad and flexible career opportunities with industrial, consulting, service or governmental organizations. The degree can also provide the foundation and background for further studies in engineering, business, medicine and law.
