Industrial Engineering - 5-Year Bachelor of Science and Master of Public Health in Occupational Safety and Health
This combination program enables motivated students to efficiently complete both the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and the Master of Public Health in Occupational Safety and Health in five years.
This combination program, BS in Industrial Engineering and MPH in Occupational Safety and Health, helps satisfy the need for engineers with formal education in health to bolster the quality of life to the public in underserved areas. In particular, industrial engineers are immersed in the practical health related issues prevalent in these areas and help engineer technologies that can overcome the barriers usually faced by point-of-care devices.
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. 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.
