The Industrial Engineering Technology program was one
of the first to be offered by UD in 1950. It has always been built on a strong foundation
of the application of industrial engineering principles to production operations
management, quality management, and in a wide variety of service industries. The BSET
degree in this major was instituted in 1964. Leadership of the program has been provided
by Professors James McGraw, Raymond Puckett, James Courtright, and Charlie Edmonson. The
IET program began in St. Joseph Hall and moved to the Kettering Laboratories Building in
the early 1970’s. The IET program provides two of the most popular
minors in Engineering Technology; one in the general principles of IET and the other in
Quality Assurance. Students are attracted to these areas because of their strong
contribution to the development of skills that can be applied to the management of
technical operations, a very desirable career path for Engineering Technology graduates.
The program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC of ABET). |
