Undergraduate Programs
IE 335. Quality Control and Reliability 3 credits
Introduction to total quality management, statistical
quality control methods and systems useful
for analyzing and controlling product quality in
industrial and business settings. Design of inspection
plans for various quality characteristics.
Statistical process control charts and acceptance
sampling. Introduction to reliability. Prerequisites:
IE 295, MATH 300.
IE 340. Ergonomics and
Occupational Safety
3 credits
Ergonomics focuses on human capabilities and
the interfaces between individuals and their environment.
Concepts from signal detection theory,
anatomy, physiology and controls are presented
and then used to solve design problems in a wide
variety of applications Prerequisite: MATH 300.
IE 350. Operations Planning,
Scheduling and Control
3 credits
Addresses those activities in an organization that
are directly related to producing goods or providing
services. Planning, execution, and control of
functions are examined. The focus is on organizational
processes in which people, capital, and
material (inputs) are combined to produce services
and goods (outputs). Such processes may be
found in banks, factories, stores, hospitals, etc.
Subjects include forecasting, capacity planning,
operations design, scheduling, and quality control.
Prerequisites: IE 295, 300 (co-requisite),
industry experience.
WI-IE 351. Industrial Engineering Design
Laboratory
3 credits
The student designs industrial engineering mechanisms
(people, equipment, information procedures)
in a laboratory setting. Projects may
include typical industrial engineering topics such
as work methods and design, facilities layout,
simulation, etc. Prerequisites: IE 300 (co-requisite),
315, 350.
IE 375. Computer-Aided
Manufacturing Systems
3 credits
Provides knowledge and an ability to apply
computer-aided manufacturing technology as a
cost-effective strategy. NC, CNC, CAD/CAM,
robotics, vision systems, PLCs, and other technologies
are investigated and their applications
explored. Strategic implementation, optimization,
and systems integration issues are addressed.
Theory of feedback control systems and computer
control of processes. Prerequisites: IE 110 and
IE 295, or design experience and manufacturing
experience.
IE 400. Introduction to Simulation 3 credits
Introduction to simulation modeling using
SIMAN programming language. Focuses on the
formulation of relevant, tractable questions, the
development of models which provide appropriate
information, and the analysis of this information
for decision-making. Simulation is presented
as an integrated subject in which the methodology
of simulation, model building, verification,
validation, and execution are addressed.
Prerequisites: MATH 300.
IE 415. System Integration and Design 3 credits
The systems integration process including planning,
design, implementation, and control.
Student projects apply this process to industrial
engineering functional areas. Prerequisites:
IE 350 and IE 315.
IE 450. Professional Experience 3 credits
Students are exposed to the working environment
of an industrial engineer in a business, industry,
government, military, hospital, education, or similar
functional activity that uses problem-solving
and/or design methods. Exposure may be
obtained through suitable work experience. If
students do not have such experience, they must
register for this course and will be given an
assignment to complete with industrial engineering
faculty advisory assistance, involving a significant
industrial engineering project with local
