Course sequences for Industrial Engineering
Engineering students must follow the approved course sequence for their program to ensure graduation after four years (8 terms) of study. Registering for the sections for your program means no time conflicts or problems with your courses.
All students in engineering programs must complete all 200-level courses in their programs prior to commencing courses at the 400-level.
Students must choose technical electives from the approved list in the Undergraduate Calendar. Topics offered in these courses change over time to ensure your program curriculum remains relevant. Some technical electives may not be offered in a given academic year.
Capstone Design Project courses (INDU, MECH, and AERO 490) extends over two academic terms.
Industrial Engineering Course Sequences
Students must complete a minimum of 11.25 credits from the following courses, including at least three INDU courses. With permission of the Department, students may take one technical elective course from another program or Faculty.
INDU Courses
Students must take at least three INDU courses:
- INDU 410 Safety Engineering 3.00
- INDU 431 Quantitative Methods in Health‑care Systems 3.00
- INDU 441 Introduction to Six Sigma 3.00

The following changes will appear in the 2019-2020 Undergraduate Calendar but will come into effect for students graduating as of June 2021:
- The Industrial Engineering core will change from 75.75 credits to 78.75 credits.
- Technical Elective requirements will change from 17.75 credits to 14.25 credits.
- Students will have to select one course from the following list of 3.00 credit Basic and Natural Science courses:
- BIOL 206 Elementary Genetics
- BIOL 261 Molecular and General Genetics
- CHEM 217 Introductory Analytical Chemistry I
- CHEM 221 Introductory Organic Chemistry I
- GEOL 206 Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Plate Tectonics
- GEOL 208 The Earth, Moon and the Planets
- PHYS 252 Optics
- PHYS 260Introductory Biophysics
- PHYS 270 Introduction to Energy and Environment
- PHYS 284 Introduction to Astronomy
- PHYS 385 Astrophysics
As a transition measure, students graduating in May 2020 may choose to take a Basic and Natural Science course towards their program requirements, but are not required to.
