The mission of the Bachelor of Science Program in
Industrial and Systems Engineering (BSIE Program) follows from the mission of
the
North Carolina A&T State University, the widely accepted purpose of the
industrial and systems engineering profession, and the needs of the Industrial
and Systems Engineering
community in the Central Piedmont region of North Carolina and the world.
The
following statement describing the University's mission and purpose is taken
from the Undergraduate Bulletin (1997-99):
-
The
purpose of the University is to provide an intellectual setting where
students in higher education may find a sense of identification, belonging,
responsibility, and achievement that will prepare them for roles of
leadership and service in the communities where they will live and work. In
this sense, the University serves as a laboratory for the development of
excellence in teaching, research and public service.
The Institute of Industrial Engineers
(IIE) is the
professional society dedicated to the industrial engineering profession.
The IIE's definition of industrial and systems engineering is given below:
Industrial
and Systems
Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of
integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy.
It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical,
physical, social and information sciences together with the principles and
methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the
results to be obtained from such systems.
The mission of the BSIE program at the
North Carolina A&T State University is
-
to provide educational
experiences in an environment that allows students to have a sense of belonging
and purpose.
-
and ensure that the educational
experiences are designed to produce competent industrial and systems engineers who will
serve the business and government needs with their expertise in designing,
improving and installing integrated systems of people, materials, information,
equipment and energy.
