Industrial Engineers apply science, mathematics, and engineering methods to complex system integration and operations. Because these systems are so large and complex, IEs need to have knowledge and skills in a wide variety of disciplines, the ability to work well with people, and a broad, systems perspective. Industrial engineers use their knowledge and skills to improve systematic processes through the use of statistical analysis, interpersonal communication, design, planning, quality control, operations management, computer simulation, and problem solving. The Industrial Engineering curriculum prepares graduates to design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy. The curriculum includes in-depth instruction to accomplish the integration of systems using appropriate analytical, computational, and experimental practices.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are statements that describe what graduates are expected to accomplish within a few years of graduation.
These objectives are consistent with the expectations of the accrediting organization of ABET.
As defined by ABET, “student outcomes 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.”
Submit application via the Office of Admissions (https://admissions.tamucc.edu/freshman/), following all established guidelines and selecting Industrial Engineering (IEEN) as your declared major.
Admission to the major is competitive. Applications will be evaluated by a departmental selection committee for eligibility. Students will be notified by the program of their acceptance or denial. Students who are not selected by the committee for full acceptance into the Industrial Engineering program, but who are deemed to be good prospects for success in the program with additional leveling work will be accepted as "Pre-Industrial Engineering" students (PREI). These students will be assigned coursework for completion and subsequent re-evaluation by the IEEN selection committee.
Students who are not selected as IEEN majors will be asked to select another major to begin their academic careers.
Students may transfer to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi as either Freshmen Transfer students (less than 30 credit hours) or as standard transfer students (more than 30 credit hours). For admissions standards and instructions for these two groups please see the following websites:
Transfer students should select Industrial Engineering (IEEN) as their declared major. Admission to the major is competitive. Applications will be evaluated by a departmental selection committee for eligibility. Students will be notified by the program of their acceptance or denial.
Students who are not selected by the committee for full acceptance into the Industrial Engineering program, but who are deemed to be good prospects for success in the program with additional leveling work will be accepted as "Pre-Industrial Engineering" students (PREI). These students will be assigned coursework for completion and subsequent re-evaluation by the IEEN selection committee. Students who are not selected as IEEN majors will be asked to select another major to begin their academic careers.
Transfer students should also be aware that outside courses may not be applicable to the TAMUCC Industrial Engineering degree plan. Transfer course work will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please see the Academic Advisor for Industrial Engineering for more information.
Current Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi students wishing to change their major to Industrial Engineering (IEEN) should be aware that application to the major is competitive and a change of major application must be evaluated for eligibility. Current students will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
Students will be notified by the Industrial Engineering Academic Advisor of their acceptance or denial. Students who are not selected by the committee for full acceptance into the Industrial Engineering program, but who are deemed to be good prospects for success in the program with additional leveling work will be accepted as "Pre-Industrial Engineering" students (PREI). These students will be assigned coursework for completion and subsequent re-evaluation by the IEEN selection committee.
Students who are not approved to change their majors to IEEN will remain in their originally declared majors and their Change of Major request will be nullified.
Current students approved to change their major to IEEN should be aware that not all courses will be applicable towards the Industrial Engineering degree plan. Transfer course work or work from another major will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please see the Academic Advisor for Industrial Engineering for more information.
