Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Industrial Engineering] From Kansas State University

Careers

Industrial engineers are in high demand across the U.S. and across the world. They are found in nearly all industries — particularly manufacturing, service, health care, energy, transportation and financial organizations. Our graduates work as quality engineers, operations research analysts, operations management associates, process engineers and management consultants.

The average annual starting salary for our graduates is more than $60,000. Because of their ability to see systemwide problems and develop creative solutions, our graduates often move quickly into management positions.

Academics 

The industrial engineering curriculum is based on a strong background in mathematics and science. The first two academic years are used to build the knowledge and experience base necessary to learn and apply fundamental engineering concepts and principles. Courses within the major are a blend of engineering and business topics.

 Our courses are taught almost exclusively by our engineering faculty. The typical class size is fewer than 40 students.
