Industrial engineering (BSE)

Find yourself immersed in the design and improvement of systems society depends on for products and services.  

The bachelor of science in engineering (BSE) program in industrial engineering combines knowledge from the physical, mathematical and social sciences to design efficient manufacturing and service systems that integrate people, equipment and information. Improvements made by industrial engineering in automation, information control, process quality and organizational design have greatly increased quality of life over the past century. Trends towards globalization, increased complexity, and rapid technological innovation create an even greater need for industrial engineering in the 21st century.

Professional licensure

ASU academic programs are designed to prepare students to apply for applicable licensure or certification in Arizona. Completion of an ASU program may not meet education requirements for license or certification in another state.

ASU makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure or certification information is current; however, state requirements may change. Separate from educational requirements, state licensure boards may require applicants to complete professional examinations, background checks, years of professional experience, jurisprudence exams, etc. If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Arizona, it is strongly recommended that you visit the ASU Professional Licensure website for contact information of the appropriate licensing entity to seek information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements.
