Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) Program Objectives

Graduates from UB's BSIE program will achieve the following professional goals:

• Think critically and creatively to identify, define, and solve important and relevant industrial engineering problems through careers in industry, government, and academia
• Engage in life-long learning through professional development and further graduate education
• Function effectively, at all levels of an organization, in settings that are diverse, global, and multi-disciplinary
• Communicate effectively to diverse audiences, through all appropriate formats
• Promote the industrial engineering profession through participation in outreach, civic, education, or professional society activities

These objectives are assessed and altered using the following process:

On a three-year cycle, a sample of current students, faculty, alumni, and advisory board members are surveyed and asked to rank, rate, and make alterations to the list of current program objectives. Survey data and comments are reviewed by the faculty and incorporated into a new set of objectives.

The process was last implemented during Fall 2005 and completed in Spring 2006.
