The faculty of the IME Department 's undergraduate programs want to ensure you are aware of our program objectives, skills you'll acquire, and what you can do when you graduate (at least in terms of outcomes related to the degree earned). We have four sets of objectives and Program Outcomes.

One set for each of our four undergraduate programs:

1. Plan, design, analyze, model, improve and implement systems to optimize the utilization of people and facilities.
2. Use engineering tools to support engineering decisions.
3. Manage projects, people, and resources effectively.
4. Communicate effectively in verbal, written, and graphic forms.
5. Pursue professional growth and interact effectively in work environments.

1. Ability to define problems, design solutions, and compare alternatives in various settings
2. Ability to critically analyze, evaluate, and improve operations
3. Ability to apply theory and techniques to optimize the utilization of people, facilities, and methods
4. Ability to apply scientific methods through experimentation
5. Ability to apply statistical and simulation methods and techniques
6. Ability to apply logical decision-making techniques
7. A commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement
8. Ability to identify, use, and modify tools and technologies effectively in appropriate settings
9. Understanding of ethical behavior in the engineering profession
10. Understanding of the professional, societal, and global impact of industrial engineering activities
11. Ability to use electronic tools in an engineering or technical environment
12. Demonstration of good oral, written, visual, and graphical communication
