Overview
The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the Department of Management offers a dual-degree program that culminates with students receiving both Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Major in Management (B.S.B.A in Management) concurrently.
Industrial and Systems Engineering combines science and technical knowledge with human sciences to design, plan, and analyze systems that involve people, materials, money, energy, equipment, and other resources. Industrial engineers work with personnel in research and development, accounting, engineers in other disciplines, maintenance, human resources, and production to increase organizational productivity, improve quality, reduce health care costs, conserve energy, develop public transportation systems, and improve industrial safety conditions. Industrial and Systems engineering distinguishes itself from other engineering professions because it has applications in manufacturing, service, commercial, and governmental activities. It is the major branch of engineering concerned not only with technology, but with people, making industrial engineers a prime source of management talent.
The Management major will prepare students for future careers in all areas of management, including small business and corporate levels. The study of Management also provides a solid preparation for the pursuit of other graduate degree programs, particularly in law and business.
Students are required to satisfy all the requirements of the College of Engineering BSIE degree and all of the requirements of the Herbert School of Business for the BSBA in Management degree. The dual degree fulfills both the People & Society area of knowledge (through the Management major) and the STEM area of knowledge (through the Industrial Engineering major).
Advanced Writing and Communication Skills: The dual degree program will satisfy the University’s Advance Writing and Communication Skills within the two degrees. For the Industrial and Systems Engineering degree, the Advanced Writing and Communication Skills requirement is satisfied by completing a set of classroom courses, laboratory courses and design courses where they learn effective oral, graphical and technical writing skills. Industrial Engineering students acquire Advanced Writing and Communication skills in the following core courses:
- ISE 201 Work Design Systems
- ISE 363 Project Management for Engineers
- ISE 380 Engineering Economic Analysis
- ISE 493
- ISE 494 Senior Design Project
- ISE 512 Quality Management Systems
- ISE 547 Simulation Modeling and Systems Analysis
- ISE 557 Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering
- ISE 568 Facilities Planning and Logistics
For the BSBA in Management degree, the advanced writing and Communications Skills requirement is satisfied by completing the following core courses:
Admission Requirements
Incoming first year students must meet the requirements of the College of Engineering and the Herbert School of Business admission requirements. Students will apply either to the College of Engineering or the Herbert School of Business. Once they have completed their first semester with a GPA of 3.0 and MTH 161 (or equivalent) with a B or more, they will be officially admitted into the Dual Degree Program. Current students wanting to transfer into the program with less than 30 credits need to have a 3.0 GPA and have completed Calculus 1 with an A or B. Students with more than 30 credits need to have a 3.0 GPA and have completed Calculus 1 and 2.
Students need to be aware the program is over 150 credits and entails a rigorous curriculum. Students who come in with credits (either AP or Dual Enrollment) will be able to finish the dual degree in 4-years. Students who do no have credits may need to do the program over 5-years. All students should consult with Financial Aid to understand the financial implications of choosing a 4 or 5-year plan.
