Student Outcomes

Student outcomes are broad statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural sciences, statistics, computer science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to develop solutions for complex industrial engineering problems.
2. Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex industrial engineering problems, reaching substantiated conclusions by utilizing the fundamental principles of mathematics, natural sciences, statistics, and engineering sciences, while incorporating holistic considerations for sustainable development.
3. Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components, or processes that meet identified needs, while taking into account social responsibility, culture, environmental considerations, as well as resources and costs.
4. Conduct investigations of complex engineering problems using research-based methods, including research-based knowledge, design of experiments, data analysis and interpretation, and information synthesis to provide valid conclusions substantiated by scientific literature and critical thinking; and apply creative approaches to evaluate emerging challenges within the engineering field.
5. Create, select, apply, and recognize the limitations of modern engineering techniques, resources, and tools, alongside appropriate technologies, including prediction and modeling, as applied to complex industrial engineering problems.
6. When solving complex industrial engineering problems, analyze and evaluate the impacts of sustainable development on society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment.
7. Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of engineering practice, while complying with relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion.
8. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams, and in multidisciplinary, face-to-face, remote, and distributed environments.
9. Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, including writing effective reports, design documentation, and delivering effective presentations, while considering cultural, linguistic, and learning differences.
10. Apply knowledge and understanding of industrial engineering management principles and economic decision-making to one’s own work, as a member or leader in a team, and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
11. Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability for independent and lifelong learning, adaptability to new and emerging technologies, and critical thinking within the broader context of technological change.
