About the Program
Transform complex systems to make organizations more productive, sustainable and successful. Join systems engineering, operations research, supply chains and logistics, and more to improve processes that include people, technology and resources. In industrial engineering, you will combine the human and technical elements of manufacturing and production.
The Polytechnic Approach
Use computer models to plan operations from manufacturing to human resources. Assess costs and controls from an engineering perspective. Virtually test production systems in the industrial engineering/simulation laboratory. With a balance of traditional industrial engineering subjects and recent developments in the field, you will graduate as a well-rounded professional ready to solve real-world problems from the first day on the job.
Career Outcomes
Courses
The Industrial Engineering program prepares you to enhance systems, processes and products to be more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable. You will be equipped to design and implement quality improvement methods and manage the complexities of productivity involving workers, capital and facilities. You will gain expertise in integrated computer-controlled manufacturing and service systems. Potential employers include prominent companies such as Disney, Northrop Grumman, Southern California Edison, and Kaiser Permanente.

Licensure Disclosure and Accreditation
California State University programs for professions that require licensure or certification are intended to prepare the student for California licensure and certification requirements. Admission into programs for professions that require licensure and certification does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate. Licensure and certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the California State University and licensure and certification requirements can change at any time.
The California State University has not determined whether its programs meet other states' educational or professional requirements for licensure and certification. Students planning to pursue licensure or certification in other states are responsible for determining whether, if they complete a California State University program, they will meet their state's requirements for licensure or certification. This disclosure is made pursuant to 34 CFR §668.43(a)(5)(v)(C). For more information, click here.
The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department offers an Industrial Engineering Program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.
The Industrial Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria, and the Program Criteria for Industrial and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
