Industrial Engineering is a profession that deals with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of men, materials, methods and equipment. It integrates human formation, material, monetary and technological resources to produce quality and cost-competitive goods and services in a health and efficient work environment. It is a field that deals with production planning and control, manufacturing systems and processes, facilitates design, human factors, occupational safety, quality control, system reliability, and system analysis and design with advanced computing.
Accreditation: PAASCU Level II
Program Educational Objectives
The XU Industrial Engineering (XU IE) graduates, formed and trained through Jesuit liberal education are deeply rooted in the Catholic faith and are persons of competence, conscience, and commitment. Thus, consistent with these goals, the XU IE program is geared towards producing graduates, who, within three to five years from graduation, have:
- (Competence, Commitment) Advanced professionally and assume roles of increasing responsibility and impact, pursuing graduate work, research and other professional activities.
- (Competence, Conscience, Commitment) Manifested technical competence, polished communication and interpersonal relation skills and effectively managed and lead multidisciplinary teams to create solutions with significant societal benefits.
- (Competence, Conscience) Emerged as professional leaders and have significantly contributed to society by designing efficient processes and systems that give high regard to cost, safety and sustainability. Being men and women for others, the XU IE graduates discern, decide and do what is right and strive for truth and will seek to support others, especially in the context of widespread poverty in the country.
- (Commitment, Conscience) Demonstrated commitment to the community, church and professional organizations through significant support and involvement that embody ethical and professional excellence rooted in Jesuit liberal education and Christian humanism.
