The Student Outcomes at Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Program are organized into three categories: core, supporting, and additional competencies. The core competencies are outcomes which indicate the fundamental engineering knowledge and skills required to graduate. The supporting competencies are outcomes which indicate professional skills required to support career in engineering field, while additional competencies are outcomes that serve to enrich the graduates beyond engineering field.
