Industrial and systems engineering has a long-standing history and unique place among engineering majors as the academic discipline responsible for the economic viability of productive systems across industries. Industrial engineers are keenly aware of the goals and objectives of the enterprise. Additionally, industrial engineers receive a core curriculum in the rigorous underpinnings requisite for the quantification of uncertainty and the mitigation of financial risk to the enterprise. This 3+2 degree ensures that the successful graduate from the Mays Business School, department of finance, has a solid background in both the stochastic processes used to characterize and model the uncertainty coupled with the financial acumen requisite to ensure the economic viability of the enterprise. Students of the industrial and systems engineering program will take advantage of a series of internships and practicums that expose the undergraduate to various facets of financial stability and instability in industry. This program will produce a select and skilled group of industrial leaders that will take their place in the industrial world ensuring the viability of productive organizations around the globe.

The freshman year is identical for degrees in aerospace engineering, architectural engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, data engineering, electrical engineering, electronic systems engineering technology, environmental engineering, industrial distribution, industrial engineering, interdisciplinary engineering, manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology, mechanical engineering, multidisciplinary engineering technology, nuclear engineering, ocean engineering, and petroleum engineering (Note: not all programs listed are offered in Qatar). The freshman year is slightly different for chemical engineering, biomedical engineering and materials science and engineering degrees in that students take CHEM 119 or CHEM 107/CHEM 117 and CHEM 120.  Students pursuing degrees in biological and agricultural engineering should refer to the specific curriculum for this major. It is recognized that many students will change the sequence and number of courses taken in any semester. Deviations from the prescribed course sequence, however, should be made with care to ensure that prerequisites for all courses are met.

¹

A grade of C or better is required.

²

Entering students will be given a math placement exam. Test results will be used in selecting the appropriate starting course which may be at a higher or lower level.

³

Of the 21 hours shown as University Core Curriculum electives, 3 must be from creative arts (see AREN curriculum for more information), 3 from social and behavioral sciences (see DAEN and IDIS curriculum for more information), 3 from language, philosophy and culture (see CVEN, EVEN and PETE curriculum for more information), 6 from American history and 6 from government/political science. The required 3 hours of international and cultural diversity and 3 hours of cultural discourse may be met by courses satisfying the creative arts, social and behavioral sciences, language, philosophy and culture, and American history requirements if they are also on the approved list of international and cultural diversity courses and cultural discourse courses.

⁴

BMEN, CHEN and MSEN require 8 hours of fundamentals of chemistry which are satisfied with CHEM 119 or CHEM 107/CHEM 117 and CHEM 120; Students with an interest in BMEN, CHEN and MSEN can take CHEM 120 second semester freshman year. CHEM 120 will substitute for CHEM 107/CHEM 117.

⁵

For BS-PETE, allocate 3 hours to core communications course (ENGL 210, COMM 203, COMM 205, or COMM 243) and/or 3 hours to UCC elective. For BS-MEEN, allocate 3 hours to core communications course (ENGL 203, ENGL 210, or COMM 205) and/or 3 hours to UCC elective.

⁶

MSF prerequisite course that counts towards ISEN degree.

⁷

Course will double count towards both undergraduate and graduate program.

⁸

A total of 9 hours of technical electives is required. The choice of courses to be taken must be made in consultation with the student’s advisor and/or the Industrial Engineering Advising Office.

⁹

All students are required to complete a high-impact experience in order to graduate. The list of possible high-impact experiences is available in the INEN advising office.

¹⁰

The MS Finance degree requires students to take 9 hours of electives in support of their career goals. 

The Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering requires a grade of C or better for required industrial engineering (ISEN) courses. 

The program includes a total of 164 hours which up to 9 hours may be applied toward both the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and the Master of Science in Finance.
