Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and the Master of Engineering in Industrial Engineering programs are accredited by EAC of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202, (410) 347-7700.

Mission:

The Industrial Engineering mission statement, which aligns with University of Louisville Mission Statement and J.B. Speed School of Engineering Mission Statement, is to:

 “provide outstanding industrial engineering educational opportunities for regional, national and international students, while maintaining our societal commitment to the development of new knowledge through the integration of research, scholarship and practice.”

Program Educational Objectives:

The objectives of the degree programs are to produce ethically responsible graduates who are:

• successful in the professional practice of industrial engineering
• effective communicators and  team players, and,
• involved in professional service and lifelong learning.

Program Criteria:

• The curriculum prepares graduates to design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems

that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy. The curriculum includes indepth

instruction to accomplish the integration of systems using appropriate analytical, computational,

and experimental practices.

• The program faculty understand professional practice and maintain

currency in their respective professional areas. Program faculty  have responsibility and sufficient

authority to define, revise, implement, and achieve program objectives.

Program Outcomes:

The faculty of the Department of Industrial Engineering actively monitors all aspects of the program to ensure that the objectives are met and that graduates demonstrate the following outcomes:

• an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
• an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
• an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as
