Industrial engineering pertains to the design, improvement, installation and operation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy, with the purpose of determining efficient ways to make a product or provide a service. Industrial engineering draws on specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical and social sciences and the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design.
The underlying concepts for the BSE program in industrial engineering include certain business principles but emphasize the use of mathematics and information technology to build models to describe, understand and optimize system performance. Depending on the subspecialties involved and the intended application, industrial engineering may also be known as operations management, management science, operations research, systems engineering or manufacturing engineering.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Industrial Engineering Program Criteria.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 36 months. This OPT work authorization term may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing the degree through ASU Online.

First-year admission:
- minimum 1210 SAT combined evidence-based reading and writing plus math score or minimum 24 ACT combined score, or a minimum high school cumulative GPA of 3.00 in ASU competency courses, or class ranking in top 25% of high school class, and
- no high school math or science competency deficiencies
Transfer admission requirements:
Transfer students with fewer than 24 transferable college credit hours: Transfer students with 24 or more transferable college credit hours must meet EITHER the primary OR the secondary criteria (not both): Primary criteria Secondary Criteria
Admission requirements for many majors in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering are higher than university admission standards.

ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
Program learning outcomes identify what a student will learn or be able to do upon completion of their program. This program has the following program outcomes:
- ABET 1: Will demonstrate the ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
- ABET 6: Will demonstrate an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- ABET 7: Will demonstrate the ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
With more than 300 Global Education program opportunities available to them, industrial engineering students are able to tailor their experience to their unique interests and skill sets. Whether in a foreign country, in the U.S. or online, students build communication skills, learn to adapt and persevere, and are exposed to research and internships across the world, increasing their professional network.
Graduates in industrial engineering are prepared to design and manage systems for a wide range of organizations. They find exciting career opportunities in all types of manufacturing and service industries, including:
- banking and finance
- defense and government
- health care
- hospitality, sports and entertainment
- management consulting
- manufacturing (e.g., aerospace, automotive, semiconductor)
- software
- telecommunication
- transportation and logistics
Example job titles and salaries listed below are not necessarily entry level, and students should take into consideration how years of experience and geographical location may affect pay scales. Some jobs also may require advanced degrees, certifications or state-specific licensure.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
