Become a Scientific and Economic Leader

Industrial Engineering Technology is concerned with the design, implementation and improvement of integrated processes and the resulting products or services within an organization. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, natural, physical, and social 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.

This degree offers graduates a challenging career in business, industry or government. Graduates deal primarily with the process management of money, materials, and labor in a business and industrial environment. The IET degree is offered both as hybrid and/or online. Online participants can attend class "virtually", meaning the student can attend class at a designated time/day through the Internet. Optionally, students can choose not to attend virtually and catch up through video lectures, recorded archives, and/or discussion groups. Kennesaw State University’s program is ranked 4th in the nation, based on student enrollment.

The Industrial Engineering Technology BS degree program of Kennesaw State University has a mission to provide undergraduate education in industrial engineering technology related fields to serve the manufacturing and service industries. The program prepares graduates for careers that are concerned with the design, implementation, evaluation and improvement of integrated systems of people, machines, energy, information and logistics. IET graduates are well prepared to lead the scientific and economic development of an increasingly complex state, nation and world. Additionally they have an appreciation for the impact that various political and social issues can have on their companies. Our mission is to serve both traditional and non-traditional students at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to empower them with the ability and vision to transform the future.

Within a few years after graduating, Industrial Engineering Technology students will:

  1. Operate in applied industrial engineering technology positions that require specialized knowledge and skills in areas including work measurement, data analytics, process and facilities design, quality and logistics.
  2. Fulfill leadership roles in solving problems, communicating effectively, and adapting to changes.
  3. Commit to lifelong learning and continued professional development.

Student outcomes describe the knowledge and skills acquired by students who complete the program. Students completing the Industrial Engineering Technology program will have:

  1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
  4. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
  5. An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
  6. An ability to accomplish the integration of systems using appropriate analytical, computational, and application practices and procedures.
  7. An ability to apply knowledge of probability, statistics, engineering economic analysis and cost control, and other technical sciences and specialties necessary in the field of industrial engineering technology.
