Industrial Engineering Program

The mission of the St. Ambrose Industrial Engineering program is to develop graduates who design, communicate and implement engineering solutions satisfying the needs of all concerned.
A Bachelor of Science Degree is offered.

Program Educational Objectives

Students are educated through a carefully engineered curriculum that includes proven engineering design knowledge, a breadth of general education, exposure to modern computer technologies, the development of thinking, writing and presentation skills, an understanding of spatial relationships, and an ability to solve real problems. 

St. Ambrose University Industrial Engineering graduates will:

1. Exercise appropriate design, fundamental math, science and engineering skills.
2. Assess the complete context and identity of industrial engineering problems, and then design and implement effective solutions.
3. Act ethically with respect to people, community and environment.
4. Interact and communicate (orally and in writing) well in all communities.
5. Continue learning.

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering Degree Program

Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the curriculum and individual courses are designed to prepare the student to use modern technology and for success well into the 21^st century.  Modern technology developments such as the application of computers in design, manufacturing, and process planning are stressed.  The vital role played by people in achieving superior performance in an organization is given major emphasis.

Our philosophy is that the whole must be greater than the sum of parts to be most effective.  We educate students through a carefully engineered curriculum based on proven engineering design knowledge, a breadth of general education, modern computer technologies, and the development of writing and thinking skills.  By carefully integrating course experiences and breaking down many walls between courses, our program amplifies the benefits to students without increasing the total course hour requirement. As a faculty we have built overlapping topics in the curriculum to assure all graduates meet our Program Educational Objectives.
