You will find industrial engineers in distribution companies, financial markets, manufacturing firms, healthcare and technology, to name a few. You will learn all the tools you need for problem solving and decision-making in complex real world systems.

The major offered by the?Western New England University incorporates a blend of theory, laboratory, and industry-based project work that will prepare you to enter the profession and/or graduate study.

Why choose industrial and engineering management?

Industrial engineers take a system?s view of things and strive to improve products and processes. You may work in a hospital, trying to design new emergency room procedures to improve wait times and decrease costs, or in an automobile manufacturing plant trying to redesign a production line for better worker ergonomics and improved quality. Maybe you would like to work in a distribution center, analyzing and improving the operations for better customer satisfaction, or as an operations analyst conducting system monitoring, or even designing the layout of a theme park for the best guest flow and minimal wait times. The most distinctive aspect of industrial engineering is the career flexibility it offers.

Industrial engineering offers a versatile career in virtually any industry. Our graduates have been hired at C&S Wholesalers, Hasbro, Johnson & Johnson, LEGO Systems, Pratt & Whitney, Synergy Investments, and UTC Aerospace Systems. Other students head directly to graduate school, including Auburn University, Carnegie Mellon University, Purdue University, University of Alabama, and Western New England University.
