这个项目

The Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) at 乐虎电子 provides two programs that culminate in a Bachelor of Science degree. Students can pursue a degree in either 工业工程与管理 or Manufacturing Engineering. Notably, NDSU has the only 工业工程与管理 program in North Dakota. The Bachelor of Science in 工业工程与管理 program is accredited by the Engineering 认证 Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Industrial and Similarly Named Engineering 项目. This accreditation reflects the program's commitment to maintaining high educational standards and ensuring its graduates are well-prepared for the engineering profession.

Motivated undergraduate students within the program have the opportunity to explore two options for accelerated master's degrees:

1. 加速MBA: IE&M/MBA accelerated program is offered by the IME Department in collaboration with the 大学 of Business. 该课程使学生能够在一年内获得MBA学位.
2. Accelerated Master of Engineering: The advantage of the Master of Engineering program lies in the application of pre-established coursework at the 600 level to be applied to both degrees, 提供精简的教育体验. This degree program offers a non-thesis option for those wishing to earn a graduate degree. The program consists of a minimum of 30 credits of study and a written examination and only requires one additional year of study beyond the undergraduate degree.

有资格进入研究生院并攻读IE&硕士/MBA或工程硕士速成课程, students must have completed a minimum of 60 credits and maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0或更高.

教员和设施

IME系目前设在工程大楼, 哪一个是8栋建筑工程综合体的一部分. 该系有七个设备齐全的教学和研究实验室, 为学生的教育和研究需要提供宝贵的支持. 这些专业实验室涉及一系列领域, 包括计算机模拟, 人为因素, 自动化和机器人技术, 增材制造和生物制造, 计算模型, 生物信息学和运筹学, PLC的, 生产流程, 快速原型, 数控加工, 和精密加工, 以及焊接和精密制造. 在2026年秋天, NDSU's 工程学院 is set to open the new Richard Offerdahl '65 Engineering Complex. 这个尖端的设施将以最先进的研究和学习空间为特色, equipping future engineers to meet the ever-changing demands of both the University and industry for generations to come.

The faculty and staff within the IME department have extensive experience in industrial and 制造业 specialties. 他们优先考虑个性化的学习环境, 致力于亲自了解每一个学生, 认识到他们的优势, 了解潜在的挑战, 并在必要时提供支持. 在NDSU完成学位后, students will leave not only with a strong foundation for career success but also the confidence and capability for lifelong personal growth. Additionally, they will have established a network of both friends and professional colleagues.

职业发展机会
