Curriculum
The IE Program comprises 12 courses totaling 30 credits. Courses for the IE program are held at the Brooklyn campus of NYU Tandon.
Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways to design, manage and improve systems — people, machines, materials, information, and energy — to make a product or provide a service.
In this regard, the IE program’s curriculum provides participants with a deep understanding of the foundational elements of industrial engineering.
