Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering

Our students are immersed in current methods for design and analysis of processes, issues relative to design principles, such as lean manufacturing and Six Sigma, and common problems, such as inventory management, and how to address them, and the system view, which includes information technology, organizational behavior, supply chain planning and control, and financial analysis. Students also have traditional engineering, math, and science coursework, an array of electives, and real-world project experiences.
Industrial engineers have an important role in every organization, serving as a bridge between engineering and management to analyze and adapt processes or create new ones. Whether it's a manufacturing procedure, a staffing model, or a redesign of physical space, industrial engineers identify the people, materials, technology, information, and energy required for a process to be efficientand determine how these resources should interact to be effective. With a degree in industrial engineering from WPI, students will obtain the knowledge, experience, and leadership skills needed to tackle current and future organizational problems in the global economy.
