2 About Industrial Engineering The discipline of Industrial Engineering (IE) offers a characteristically flexible array of employment opportunities. While other engineering disciplines tend to apply skills to specific areas, industrial engineers work anywhere from traditional manufacturing companies to airlines, distribution companies to financial institutions, hospitals to consulting companies, and high-tech corporations to luxury retailers. Engineers design and build things, but IEs design and improve the productivity and quality of integrated systems of people, material, computers, information, equipment, and other resources. IEs use the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the tools of engineering analysis to improve business processes. In addition to contributing to corporate profitability, they also make the workplace more productive. The Department of Industrial Engineering s intensive educational program meets the challenge of modern industry s growing complexity. Building upon a solid foundation in mathematics, basic sciences, and engineering, the curriculum exposes the student to systems analysis and design across traditional disciplinary lines. The student learns the demands of today's dynamic social systems. The Bachelor of Science programs at SCUPI are in the process of applying for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), which accredits engineering and technology programs in the United States. ABET has accredited equivalent programs at Pitt s Swanson School of Engineering. Program Educational Objectives Education at SCUPI aims to create: successful professionals who adapt to and drive changes in technology and our global society in industrial engineering based careers, or whatever professional career path they desire to follow. lifelong learners who pursue advanced knowledge. and professionals who actively lead their community. Industrial Engineering s Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) describe what we expect of graduates three to five years after they graduate. Upon graduating, students must demonstrate the following abilities: apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data. design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic economic, manufacturing, and social constraints. function as members of multidisciplinary teams. identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. understand professional and ethical responsibilities. communicate effectively. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. engage in life-long learning. modern engineering tools as necessary for engineering practice. 2

3 Program Highlights SCUPI models its IE program on the University of Pittsburgh s, one of the five oldest IE programs in the United States. Pitt s progressive curriculum consistently ranks among the top twenty undergraduate programs. Program highlights include: o Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to solving and synthesizing problems related to manufacturing, assembly, service, and other industries. o Predominantly quantitative coursework that emphasizes solving problems mathematically and with computers, that also includes the qualitative understanding. o Providing graduates with the skills needed to compete internationally. o Broad exposure to the humanities and social sciences through electives. o A variety of required technical courses. o A capstone design course in the final term, where students work in small teams to complete a project in an industrial setting. A company officer and a faculty member jointly supervise the project. o Numerous academic options such as Cooperative Engineering Education, minors, and international programs. Industrial Engineering Curriculum Highlights SCUPI offers courses for industrial engineering students who wish to understand operations, systems, and how materials, people, and other resources are integrated to improve quality and productivity. The curriculum is arranged for those who would like to eventually move into managing engineering environments. The core courses include: Engineering Economic Analysis, Productivity Analysis, Probability & Statistics (2 courses), Information Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Processes & Analysis, Engineering Product Design, Human Factors Engineering, Operations Research (two courses), Engineering Management, Facility Logistics, Discrete Event Simulation, Supply Chain Analysis, and a senior capstone course. Teamwork Small groups of students work together on projects in most courses throughout the curriculum, which helps students learn how to work as a part of a team. Students also learn about other important facets of industrial engineering, including ethical issues and meeting budget and schedule constraints. Written and Oral Communication An industrial engineer must be able to communicate effectively to be successful. SCUPI provides a unique and rigorous program in English training. Although the engineering admission requirements do not specify a minimum score for English, SCUPI and the English Language Institute (ELI) at the University of Pittsburgh test all freshmen s English proficiency during orientation. Students subsequently sign up for English for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and English related courses. The senior design project course includes a written report, the production of a short video, and an oral presentation during a symposium held near the end of the term. 3

4 Computing and Professional Software Experience The Industrial Engineering curriculum provides many opportunities to use computers and professional software. Freshman begin studying computer programming, working on assignments that illustrate numerical methods applied to engineering analysis. Students receive instruction in the Matlab TM or Mathematica TM software packages in addition to the programming languages C and HTML. Sophomores use a variety of engineering and decision making software. In addition, many of the technical electives extensively use computer-based tools such as statistical software, discrete event simulation, data analytics, et cetera. Student Development in Engineering Professional Practice Faculty s actions, attitudes, and courses persistently expose the students to professional ethics. Each year, as part of the required departmental seminar, SCUPI invites speakers to present on topics of ethics and professionalism. Students, furthermore, conduct their required senior technical symposium in the manner of a professional meeting. Students transferring to the University of Pittsburgh have access to student chapters of two professional societies, the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). Both regularly participate in national or regional activities. Undergraduate Curriculum The requirements for obtaining a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Industrial Engineering are described below. In addition to required courses within and outside of SCUPI, students are also required to take five (5) Technical Electives, one (1) Circuits for Automation, and six (6) Social Science and Humanities courses.

Using object based data models, students design a conceptual model to discuss with customers (end users) and then convert the concepts to relational models for database developments using normalization methods. To practice the database development process, students are assigned a project that requires research and preparation for customer interviewing, conceptual design, customer verification, logical design, prototype development using MS-Access, testing and presentation of results.
