Industrial Engineering draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in mathematical, physical and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering design and analysis, to design, operate, predict, and evaluate systems. The usual objective is to obtain an optimal system, process or procedure.
The BSIE curriculum includes engineering design for the optimization of industrial and service systems, specification of manufacturing systems, and scientific management of activities and processes. Specialized training is available in the use of modern engineering tools and techniques such as computer-based modeling, manufacturing, product-process-system design, and applied probability, statistics, artificial intelligence, and its subsystems.

The Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET requires that all students graduating from an ABET accredited program meet certain requirements. Completion of the A.A. degree will not meet these requirements. Prospective majors should select courses after consulting an advisor.
The following are the state-wide common prerequisites. Those in BOLD are the required prerequisites that students must complete for admission into this major at FSU in preparation for the upper division major. Those in ITALIC are strongly encouraged to be taken. Students are encouraged to complete these in the freshman and sophomore years. All may also apply to other requirements.

Note: State-wide common prerequisites are always under review. For the most current information and for acceptable alternative courses, visit the “Common Prerequisites Manual.” This is available from the “Student Services” section of http://www.flvc.org .
Pre-Engineering Program Requirements:
All students are placed in a Pre-Major Engineering code until all of the prerequisites have been completed. Students must earn a grade of "C minus" or better on the first attempt of the courses designated in our Pre-Engineering curriculum (Calculus I, Calculus II, General Physics I*, Pre-Engineering Lab) at any institution attended. A single repeated attempt in only one of the four (4) courses listed above is allowed.
Requirements for Progression to the Upper-Division:
To be admitted, students must complete at least 52 hours of credit with an FSU GPA of a 2.00, including at least one-half of the required hours in the General Education program, including all the Area I English and math. In addition, students must have an earned grade of “C minus“ or better in MAC2311. Students must not be in violation of the pre-engineering program requirements.
Transfer Requirements:
Students wishing to transfer into the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering must meet the following criteria:
• Must earn a grade of "C minus" or better on the first attempt of the courses designated in our Pre-Engineering curriculum (Calculus I, Calculus II, General Physics I with calculus*, Pre-Engineering Lab) at any institution attended. One repeated attempt out of all pre-engineering courses is permitted.
• Transfer students who have one repeated attempt in one of the Pre-Engineering courses, must have already completed all Pre-Engineering courses (excluding Pre-Engineering Lab) prior to transferring to the College of Engineering.

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2025 and after)
*Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. This program is NOT available via Online/Distance Learning.*
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
All new, incoming engineering students are placed into pre-engineering major until they have satisfied the College of Engineering prerequisite course requirements listed below. After these requirements are satisfied, students may change their major from pre- engineering to Industrial Engineering.
An undergraduate Industrial Engineering degree requires 128 semester credit hours for graduation. A student who has decided to major in industrial engineering must earn a grade of "C minus" or better on the first attempt of the courses designated in our Pre- Engineering curriculum (Calculus I, Calculus II, General Physics I with calculus, Pre-Engineering Lab) at any institution attended. Only one repeated attempt out of all pre-engineering courses is permitted.
Industrial Engineering majors must earn a grade of "C" or better in all engineering courses which apply toward the degree.
EGN1004L is only offered at FSU; therefore, transfer students should take this course during the first semester enrolled at FSU.
