IE 490 Senior Design Seminar
One of the following: ME elective, PHYS 306 or 3 credits of IE 460, or 3 credits of ENGR 320.
The Engineering Seminars (ENGR 201, 301, 401) are required for all engineering majors and should be taken by the time a student has completed approximately 50, 75, and 100 percent, respectively, of the engineering course requirements.
GPA Requirements
A minimum GPA of 2.50 must be earned for all semester credits used to satisfy the course requirements shown above, a minimum GPA of 2.00 in all IE and ENGR prefix course numbers, MATH 191 and 192, or their equivalents, must be completed with a grade of C or better. A minimum overall GPA of 2.00 must be earned in the combination of semester credits and attempted transfer credits.
Students attending continuously on a part-time basis are expected to complete the requirements within eight years.
Additional Degree Information
This is the suggested plan of study to graduate in four years with a degree in Industrial Engineering. This plan assumes the student hasn't satisfied three years of foreign language in high school.
Some courses have prerequisites; please view the online course catalog for complete information and course descriptions.
