工业工程理学学士

工业工程有助于管理决策过程。它与人员，方法，材料，机器和能源的集成系统的最佳利用有关，以实现组织目标。在应用工程分析和设计的原理和方法时，它与其他工程学科的不同之处在于涉及以下方面的问题：人力和精力，生产系统，金钱，材料和时间使用的经济性以及高利用率社会科学。工业工程师使用科学的方法来建立事实信息，从中定义备选方案，识别和解决问题。考虑到系统的设计，改进和控制，他们收集，分析，整理和统计检查数据。他们将新技术和工具引入组织和决策过程。
Industrial engineering is the work of orchestrating the diverse elements of industry to help a company make the best possible use of time, human effort, production systems, and financial and physical resources. If you were born with the hands of an engineer and the heart of a social scientist, this might be the career for you. <br><br>The job of an industrial engineer is flexible and diverse, and a BS in Industrial Engineering from Hofstra University will prepare you for each new challenge. You'll be ready to develop production schedules, engineering specifications, and other vital processes of manufacturing. You will learn to create management control systems that maximize the efficiency of financial planning and cost analysis, and quality control procedures to minimize costs and improve production. And you will be capable of working directly with clients, vendors or internal staff members to discuss product specifications, production goals and the status of complex projects.<br><br>As part of the DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science (ranked #35 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for engineering programs that do not offer a doctoral degree), our industrial engineering students take advantage of an extraordinary array of sophisticated laboratory facilities. These include the Mechatronics Lab, the Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Lab, the Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems and Mobile Computing Lab, and 14 other engineering and computer science laboratories.<br><br>As an industrial engineering student at Hofstra, you will also have plenty of opportunities to apply what you've learned in the classroom and labs to actual workplace settings. Our robust co-op education and internship programs have placed hundreds of Hofstra students in businesses and institutions throughout the New York metro area and beyond.
