The main purpose of the Industrial Engineering program
at UPRM is to prepare professionals for the practice of Industrial Engineering
in Puerto Rico and elsewhere. Graduates from the Industrial Engineering
program at the Mayagüez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico
are instrumental in the planning, designing, implementing and evaluating
products, services, on systems that integrate people, materials, equipment,
and information for the progress and improvement of the quality of life
of humankind. They insure that these products, services, or systems
can be provided economically with the required level of quality necessary
for satisfying society’s needs. The Industrial Engineer draws upon
knowledge and skills in mathematics and the physical, social, physiological
and computer sciences together with principles and methods of engineering
analysis and design.
- To accomplish our goal an enable our graduates to perform as Industrial
Engineers they will be able to: apply the concepts and techniques
relevant to the analysis and solution of challenges in the field of
Industrial Engineering.
- possess and adequately utilize the fundamental knowledge in the
technological and Sociohumanistic aspects of the profession.
- maintain an attitude of service to society and to the ethical practice
of the profession.
- maintain professional competency throughout their careers.
- be competent in the use of computers, information systems, and
telecommunications relevant to the profession.
- work as part of a team in the solution of engineering challenges.
- communicate adequately to present the results of professional work
- become leaders within the field.
Graduates from this program are equipped to work in manufacturing,
service and governmental organizations. Examples of present and potential
employers of our graduates include:
- manufacturing
- pharmaceuticals, textiles, food processing, electronics, clothing
and shoes, health and hospital related products.
- services
- banks, hospitals, supermarket chains, furniture chains, communications,
managerial consultants, system developers, public utilities, and cooperatives.
- government agencies.
This program is fully accredited by ABET, the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology.
Program Educational Objectives
The student’s professional careers are shaped fundamentally by the educational experiences provided by the program. The educational objectives of the Industrial Engineering undergraduate program are the following:
- Our graduates will be known as assertive, ethical, and independent critical thinkers.
- Our graduates will make contributions to their organization based on experience that builds on their IE education.
- Our graduates will adapt to changing needs in their profession.
- Our graduates will achieve leadership roles in their organizations
With these educational objectives as a guide, the Industrial Engineering Program at UPRM has been designed to provide students with a well-balanced education stressing classical Industrial Engineering design complemented with additional sophisticated analytical techniques. A strong emphasis is placed upon the fundamentals of the profession, laboratory experiences, real life problem solving, and the use of the computer as an engineering tool.
