IME Undergraduate Student Handbook

Revised February 2002

1. Overall Curriculum Requirement
   A student must meet the current Industrial Engineering and Management (IE&M) or Manufacturing Engineering (MfgE) curriculum requirements in place at the time that he/she joins the program. However, for reasons including a need to observe new accreditation requirements and a credit change in a course offering, a certain program change may be applied to students accepted under a curriculum of a previous version.
   
   
2. General Education Requirements
   A student must also meet the University General Education requirements unless he/she provides proof of having fulfilled the general education program consisting of a minimum of 36 credits from an accredited institution.
   
   The General Education requirements are outlined in the University Registration Schedule. A student who fulfills the IE&M or MfgE curriculum requirements would automatically meet Categories 1-3 and 9-12 of the Gen. Ed. requirements. For Categories 4-8, the following check lists can be used (the term Category and CODE correspond to the Gen. Ed. requirements printed in the University Registration Schedule):
   
   

   Categories 4,5,7,8
   # cr*	D or G?**	Course
   		i. 1 Humanity and Fine Art (CODE: A) course approved by the Gen. Ed. Committee
   		ii. ENGR 311 (CODE: A) or another Gen. Ed. course of Code A
   		iii. 1 Social & Behavioral Science (CODE: B) course approved by the Gen. Ed. Committee
   		iv. ENGR 312 (CODE: B, also counted as Global Perspective) or another Gen. Ed. course of Code B
   *The total of i+ii for CODE A MUST BE AT LEAST 6 CREDITS; the total of iii+iv for CODE B MUST BE AT LEAST 6 CREDITS. ** AMONG the above 4 courses, 3 credits must also be approved for Cultural Diversity (CODE: D) and 3 credits for Global Perspectives (CODE: G).
   Category 6

3. Technical Electives (5-6 credits)
   - The following courses are approved as technical electives for the IE&M program:
   

   IME 380	IME 411	IME 430	IME 431	IME 451
   IME 452*	IME 462	IME 471	IME 494	IME 496
   BUSN 360	BUSN 431	BUSN 440	ENGR 320	STAT 462
   Or other engineering or business courses advised by the adviser. * As a technical elective if this course is not counted as a required course.

   
   - The following courses are approved as technical electives for the MfgE program:
   

   IME 320	IME 420	IME 422	IME 425	IME 427
   IME 450	IME 451	IME 452	IME 455	IME 456
   IME 470	IME 472	IME 485	IME 494	IME 496
   ENGR 320	STAT 462
   Or other engineering or business courses advised by the adviser.

   
   MfgE students are required to group electives into a cohesive option. See your advisor on department change, for up-to-date choices of elective options.
   
   Note: Enrollment of undergraduates in 600-700 level courses requires departmental approval.
   
   
4. IME/UNIV 199
   All freshman or transfer students with fewer than 24 transfer credits are required to take IME/UNIV 199.
   
   
5. IME 111
   All freshmen are required to take IME 111. A transfer student’s IME 111 requirement may be waived depending on the student’s previous coursework.
   
   
6. Co-op Education
   All students are encouraged to have a cooperative education. A co-op education significantly enhances the IME educational experience and career preparation. A student who completes a total of 6 months of co-op can choose to write a technical report and receive a letter grade for 3 credits of IME494 or IME 496, which can be counted toward a technical elective with the approval of the advisor. The guideline for writing a co-op technical report can be obtained from the advisor.
