The name of the degree awarded by the program is
“Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering”.
The Department of
Industrial Engineering offers two options for its Bachelor's degree program,
namely, regular and cooperative (coop) students. Both options require an IE
student to successfully complete not less than 155 credit hours with a cumulative
GPA of 2.75 out of 5 or better to qualify for attainment of the Industrial
Engineering degree. Regular option students are required to complete one
summer training of 10 weeks in the industrial field, under the supervision of
a faculty member. Cooperative program students undertake coop work for 26
weeks in lieu of the summer training and 6 credit units of departmental
electives. Students whose GPA is lower than 2.75 but
have otherwise fulfilled all other graduation requirements must retake enough
of the technical courses in which their grade is lower than C to bring their
GPA up to the 2.75 minimum. The typical study
period of the IE program is five years (10 semesters).
The distribution of 155 credit hours is as follows:
