BS in Industrial Engineering

What is industrial engineering?
Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

The prime of objectives of industrial engineering are:
(1) to increase productivity,
(2) to eliminate waste and non-value-added activities, and
(3) to come up with the optimum use of scarce resources
that  would bring out the best results.

Why Industrial Engineering?
1. Industrial Engineering is a derivative of Mechanical Engineering.
2. IE is an interdisciplinary Engineering.
3.It involves many principles of management.
4.IE can be applied across in all types of industries.
5. IE has extensive job oppportunities.

Industrial engineering is involved in the following fields:
- Production materials and processes
- Statistics (descriptive and inferential)
- Methods engineering: motion and time measurement, work sampling, value engineering
- Product research and development
- Feasibility studies
- Quality control
- Operations research (OR is about the optimization of use of resources to achieve the best results)
- Engineering economy
- Systems simulation
- Manufacturing systems / Information systems
- Structured analyses and design
- Facilities engineering
- Logistics and supply chain
- Materials Production and Processes

Career Opportunies for IEs are:
- Methods Engineer in logistics and manufacturing companies.
- Ergonomist in manufacturing companies
- Operations Research Analyst for service/airline/courier companies
- Quality Engineer in electronics, automotive, food and consumer goods companies.

BSIE Graduates may be employed in any of the mentioned fields as Bataan and the neighboring provinces actually have many opportunities (in the manufacturing sector) for BSIE Graduates.

Career opportunities for IEs are:
- as a methods engineer in a logistics company
- as an ergonomist in a television manufacturing plant
- as an operations research analyst for an airline/courier company
- as a quality engineer in a food and consumer goods company

BSIE Graduates may be employed in any of the above-mentioned fields, but Bataan and the neighboring provinces have many opportunities (in the manufacturing sector) for BSIE Graduates. Career Opportunities of BSIE Graduates in Bataan and neighboring provinces: Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Clark Freeport Zone and Hermosa Industrial Park             

History of BSIE Program in BPSU
In 2015, Prof. John Ryan C. Dizon completed a feasibility study on the offering of the BS Industrial Engineering in BPSU. The study showed that there is a significant need of Industrial Engineering graduates due to the influx of manufacturing companies in Bataan and neighbouring provinces of Zambales and Pampanga. It was also found that a considerable number  of high school students in Bataan prefer  to enroll in the BSIE program.

BS Industrial Engineering Program Educational Objectives:
1. To produce world class Industrial Engineering graduates ready to compete locally and globally.
2. To train students to be well-versed in the following  areas of Industrial Engineering  specification: Quality Management System, Operation Research, Ergonomics, Production and Operations Management and Entrepreneurship
3. To promote the 21st Century Learning Skills such as Critical thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity in most activities in the program.
4. To develop the problem-solving skills of students through scientific research.
5. To promote professional work ethics, service to the community, lifelong learning for the continuous development  society and oneself.
