Degree Requirements for Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering
IMET Faculty approved on December 9, 2009, subject to approval by Bradley University in Spring 2010
The program offers students three concentration options: Engineering management, Logistics engineering, Systems Engineering.
Engineering Management Concentration
The Engineering Management concentration incorporates 12 hours from the existing minor in Management that is already being offered by the Foster College of Business (FCB).
| BMA 352 Managing in Organizations | 3 |
| BMA 356 Human Resource Management | 3 |
| BMA 357 Leadership and Interpersonal Behavior | 3 |
| BMA - Management Elective | 3 |
| (Note: add 6 BMA credits – Becomes BUS minor) | |
Logistics Engineering Concentration
The Logistics Engineering concentration emphasizes courses that will improve the student’s analytical skills, particularly as they pertain to material procurement within complex supply chain systems.
| IME 412 Design and Analysis of Experiments | 3 |
| IME 461 Advanced Simulation | 3 |
| IME 483 Production Planning and Control | 3 |
| IME 486 Logistical Analysis Supply Chain Systems | 3 |
Systems Engineering Concentration
The Systems Engineering concentration gives the student a program that most closely resembles our traditional IE program
| PSY 310 Industrial and Organizational Psychology | 3 |
| IME 314 Operations Research II | 3 |
| IME 468 Expert Systems | 3 |
| IME 483 Production Planning and Control | 3 |
