BS in Industrial Engineering
- Program Objectives & Outcomes
The BSIE program at
LSU trains industrial engineering students in the synthesis and
application of scientific principles to the design,
installation, and improvement of integrated systems of people,
materials, information, and equipment to provide the most
efficient and effective operating and work environment.
Program Objectives.
Within the first few years after graduation, graduates from the
BSIE program at LSU are expected to demonstrate:
-
Technical Expertise. Ability to
think independently, critically and creatively, and take the
lead in, identifying; defining; collecting, analyzing, &
interpreting data; developing effective solutions that
balance intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic considerations;
and successfully implementing solutions within desired time
frames; to unstructured problems in designing and improving
operation and management systems in their organizations, so
as to safely and effectively produce and deliver the
organization’s products and services. In particular,
graduates are expected to be prepared to be successful in
these tasks in industries of economic importance to
Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region, including construction,
process industries; oil & gas exploration; information
technology; traditional manufacturing; and healthcare.
-
Effectiveness in the Organization,
and Organizational Leadership. Ability to function
effectively, at all levels of an organization, in settings
that are diverse, global, and multi-disciplinary; to advance
to leadership roles within their organizations; and to be
entrepreneurial either within their companies or in creating
and leading new companies.
-
Life-Long Learning. An ability to
adapt to changes in technology and our global society in
their desired career path, by engaging in life-long learning
such as conferences, professional development courses,
certifications and licensing, and advanced graduate studies.
-
Communication Skills. Ability to
effectively communicate in writing, presentations, and
meetings, using appropriate technology and formats, to
diverse audiences with different organizational roles,
backgrounds, cultures, education, and interests.
-
Teamwork Skills. Ability to work
