Industrial Engineering (BSIE) Program

The Industrial Engineering (BSIE) program at the University of Central Florida focuses on systems integration, human and workplace interactions, supply chain design and logistics, information systems, production operations, business processes, and quality improvement. Students develop mathematical models of systems, collect and analyze data using statistical methods, then develop and evaluate alternative strategies to determine the most productive way to use resources such as people, machines, materials, space, and energy.

Program Description

Industrial engineers find joy in making the world work better. Their talents impact a huge array of industries — from healthcare and defense to tourism and manufacturing. Regardless of which applications excite you, you can take your work further with your master's in industrial engineering. These professionals combine technical, business, and communication skills to design and improve products and processes. IEs develop mathematical models, identify and analyze data using statistical methods, and develop and evaluate alternate strategies for determining the most productive ways to utilize people, materials, machines, money, space, and energy.

Career Opportunities

UCF's program provides job preparation through hands-on experiences with industry clients. Internships and jobs are plentiful with UCF's proximity to Central Florida Research Park and Florida's high-tech corridor. UCF also offers a Lean Six Sigma "Green Belt" certification, and an accelerated five-year bachelor's/master's degree. Our graduates have successful careers at top public and private organizations, including Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, IBM, and NASA.
