application of math and
science to create something
of value from our natural
resources.”
Industrial Engineering & Management Program
• As engineers design and build more complex systems, the need to
oversee and ensure adequate performance of the system becomes
more pronounced. IE’s as managers and engineers will have a
significant role in understanding performance requirements and
improving efficiency of these systems.
• Industrial engineers work in every type of enterprise –
manufacturers of every sort of industrial and consumer product;
healthcare, financial, transportation, distribution and other types of
service industries; government units and agencies.
• Most branches of engineering are concerned with designing
products, while industrial engineers concentrate on designing,
installing, and improving procedures, systems, and processes for
effective and efficient operation of any enterprise.
Manufacturing Engineering Program
• Is all about the production of goods – from automobiles, tractors,
and airplanes, to electronic and recreational products, sports
equipment, toys, to foodstuffs.
• NDSU is one of only nineteen universities offering this degree
• MfgE major special interests:
– Electronics manufacturing
