工业工程学本科课程是世界上第一个建立的课程，其悠久的传统是在制造过程和系统的设计，控制和操作方面提供强大的技术动手教育。该课程通过数学，物理和工程科学以及实验室和工业经验的基础，提供制造，运筹学和人体工程学方面的基础广泛的教育。它为发展专业胜任的多才多艺的工业工程师奠定了坚实的基础，能够在传统的制造业环境以及更广泛的经济环境中运作，包括金融服务，通讯，信息技术，运输，医疗保健，咨询或学术界。
The undergraduate program in industrial engineering, being the first established in the world, has a long tradition of providing a strong, technical, hands-on education in design, control, and operation of manufacturing processes and systems. The curriculum provides a broad-based education in manufacturing, operations research and ergonomics through a base of mathematics, physical and engineering sciences, and laboratory and industrial experiences. It builds a strong foundation for the development of a professionally competent and versatile industrial engineer, able to function in a traditional manufacturing environment as well as in a much broader economy, including careers in financial services, communication, information technology, transportation, health care, consulting, or academia.
