COMPUTER ACCOUNTS

Students are expected to have computer accounts on the Department’s Windows NT Server GILBRETH in order to obtain an access to NT workstations in the labs.
Students should check their e-mails regularly to determine what events of interest are occurring, e.g., seminars, course announcements, etc. since e-mailing is the primary channel of communication between faculty members and students whenever oral communication is not possible.

Students enrolled in the BS program receive, in the first two years, a firm foundation in natural, mathematical and computer sciences, engineering sciences, and English. They are also introduced to the fundamentals of social sciences, economics and business administration in their second year. During the remaining two years, in addition to the core areas of Industrial Engineering, the curriculum includes probability theory, mathematical statistics, operations research, and further topics in social sciences.

The program also stresses communication skills as an important aspect of students’ professional and intellectual development.
