Description of Major

*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*

Industrial Engineering draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in mathematical, physical and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering design and analysis, to design, operate, predict, and evaluate systems. The usual objective is to obtain an optimal system, process or procedure.

The BSIE curriculum includes engineering design for the optimization of industrial systems, specification of manufacturing systems, and scientific management of activities and processes. Specialized training is available in the use of modern engineering tools and techniques such as computer based modeling, manufacturing, product-process-system design, and applied probability and statistics.

ABET
The Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET requires that all students graduating from an ABET accredited program meet certain requirements. Completion of the A.A. degree will not meet these requirements. Prospective majors should select courses after consulting an advisor.

Pre-Engineering Program Requirements:
All students are placed in a Pre-Major Engineering code until all of the prerequisites have been completed. Students must earn a grade of "C minus" or better on the first attempt of the courses designated in our Pre-Engineering curriculum (Calculus I, Calculus II, General Physics I*, Pre-Engineering Lab) at any institution attended. A single repeated attempt in only one of the four (4) courses listed above is allowed.

Requirements for Progression to the Upper-Division:
To be admitted, students must complete at least 52 hours of credit with an FSU GPA of a 2.00, including at least one-half of the required hours in the General Education program, including all of the Area I English and math. In addition, the following requirement must be met: a grade of “C minus“ or better in MAC2311. Students must not be in violation of the pre-engineering program requirements.

Transfer Requirements:
Students wishing to transfer into the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering must meet the following criteria:

• Must earn a grade of "C minus" or better on the first attempt of the courses designated in our Pre-Engineering curriculum (Calculus I, Calculus II, General Physics I with calculus*, Pre-Engineering Lab) at any institution attended. One repeated attempt out of all pre-engineering courses is permitted.

• Transfer students who have one repeated attempt in one of the Pre-Engineering courses, must have already completed all Pre-Engineering courses (excluding Pre-Engineering Lab) prior to transferring to the College of Engineering.

• Transfer students who will earn an AA or have more than 60 hours of transfer credit prior to enrollment at the College must have completed at least Calculus I. It is strongly preferred that AA transfer students have the majority of the pre-engineering courses completed before arriving (excluding Pre-Engineering Lab)." placeholder="Prerequisites for the Program">
