Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE)MissionEducational Objectives Admission Requirements Technical Electives Graduation Requirements Preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies (IES) Industrial and systems engineers specialize in coordination, planning, and control. Industrial growth has created unusual opportunities for the industrial and systems engineer. Due to increased emphasis on automation and productivity, coupled with higher levels of systems sophistication, there is a high demand for engineering graduates with broad interdisciplinary backgrounds. Industrial and Systems Engineering prepares students for industrial practice in such areas as product design, process design, plant operation, production control, quality control, facilities planning, work system analysis and evaluation, and economic analysis of operational systems. Students are prepared to use engineering principles to solve problems encountered in environments and situations that require a quantitative basis for decision making. Such decision making requires the application of economics, operations research, statistics, mathematics and engineering analysis, with dependence on the computer. The Industrial and Systems Engineering curriculum provides the preparation necessary for graduate study. MissionThe mission of the undergraduate program is to provide top quality, state-of-the-art education in Industrial and Systems Engineering and to foster leading-edge instruction. The program seeks to be nationally recognized by our peer institutions and by key employers of Industrial and Systems Engineering graduates. Educational ObjectivesAdmission RequirementsThe minimum requirements for unconditional admission into the baccalaureate program of the department are an overall grade point average of 2.0 and a 2.5 grade point average in the designated pre-engineering technical courses. Students who have not met these requirements at 60 hours may be admitted on a probationary basis upon successful petition. Technical ElectivesNormally, technical elective credit is restricted to approved upper division courses in engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics and business. Provision is made for receiving up to three credits for approved co-op and internship experience, as part of the Integrated Product and Process Design (IPPD) sequence, for certain courses taken as part of advanced ROTC and for other approved courses. Graduation RequirementsTo count toward graduation, a grade of C or better must be earned in each required statistics course and each required course in the Industrial and Systems Engineering department. Students earning less than a C must repeat the course as soon as possible. Statistics or department courses taken as electives do not fall under this rule. Industrial & Systems EngineeringTo remain 'on track' for this major you must meet the following critical tracking criteria. The critical tracking courses appear in bold. Semester 1:
Semester 2:
Semester 3:
Semester 4:
NOTE: Please see the department's web site ( www.ise.ufl.edu) for the most up to date departmental policies.
NOTE: If you do not place out of ENC 1101, take it in the fall.
1 Acceptable course work in microeconomics: the sequence ECO 2013 and 2023, or the single course ECO 3101. These courses satisfy social and behavioral sciences general education requirements. ECO 3101 should be deferred until completion of EIN 4354 and ESI 4312. Admission to ECO 3101 may require instructor approval.2 Students with insufficient backgrounds in physics may be denied direct entrance into PHY 2048. Students should take a lower level course such as PHY 2020. After successful remediation, they may enter the physics sequence: PHY 2048, 2048L, 2049 and 2049L.3 Two credits of engineering graphics are required. When EML 3023 is taken, one credit accrues to technical electives. If ECO 3101, a four credit course, is used to satisfy the microeconomics requirement, the extra credit accrues to technical electives. An adviser must approve the additional credits needed to bring the total up to 11.4 Please see ISE Department Program Assistant for proper section number.5 There is no course named Human Systems. This requirement can be met by courses with significant human factors content, such as EIN 4243. Adviser approval is required.6 EIN 4321, Industrial Energy Management, can be substituted for EML 3007, Thermodynamics.7 The curriculum requires 11 credits of technical electives. Students are encouraged to select a set of technical electives that are related to one another and provide the student with expertise in a concentration area within Industrial and Systems Engineering. Several minors are available to students that provide such a theme. A handout describing available minors can be obtained from the ISE Department Program Assistant for Student Records in the ISE Department office.8 Students are encouraged to participate in the Integrated Product and Process Design (IPPD) program, which requires six hours of course work and is offered as a sequence of two three-credit courses during fall and spring of the senior year. This course involves multidisciplinary teams of engineering students who work closely with an industry liaison engineer to design a new product or process for an industry sponsor. The first of these courses is an approved substitute for 3 credits of technical electives while the second course in the sequence is an approved substitute for the capstone design course (senior project) EIN 4335.9 In the spring semester EIN 4335 will be offered as Emulated Product and Process Design (EPPD), a course in which multidisciplinary teams of engineering students design a new product and associated processes using concurrent engineering tools.Preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) ExamApproximately 10% of members of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) pursue a Professional Engineer (PE) license. A PE license is especially desirable for engineers who want to start their own business. The ISE Department's undergraduate curriculum does not require certain courses that are necessary in preparing for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam (also known as the Engineer Intern [EI] exam), a prerequisite for pursuing Professional Engineer (PE) certification. Students wishing to prepare for the FE exam are advised to select a set of technical elective courses that properly prepare them for this exam. These students should select EGM 3520, Mechanics of Materials, and EGM 3400, Engineering Mechanics - Dynamics, at a minimum, as part of their technical electives, and should not substitute EIN 4321, Industrial Energy Management, for EML 3007, Thermodynamics. Students interested in taking the FE exam should also select one of the following two courses on ethics: EGN 4032, Professional Issues in Engineering, or EGN 4034, Professional Ethics. Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies (IES)Students who wish to plan a program of study in engineering markedly different from the departments programs should contact the Office of Academic Programs in 312 Weil Hall. Requirements for admission to an interdisciplinary studies program include a strong educational commitment and a grade point average of at least 2.5. The program requires approval by a committee consisting of three engineering faculty and the academic dean of the college, and must satisfy the minimum engineering science course requirements. Completion leads to the B.S. |
