Industrial engineering is an academic discipline with applicability to a broad range of students from other majors. Engineering majors specifically may wish to complement their degree programs with a minor in industrial engineering to demonstrate knowledge and competence in industrial engineering areas. Completion of the minor requirements should prepare students to apply fundamental principles of industrial engineering, such as production control, operations improvement, and engineering management, to their chosen career field.
Only students within the Bagley College of Engineering are eligible for a minor in industrial engineering. Students majoring in industrial engineering are not eligible.
A minor in industrial engineering consists of three required courses for all students pursuing the minor and two restricted elective courses:
| Course | Title | Credit Hours |
| IE 3913 | Engineering Economy | 3 |
| IE 4613 | Engineering Statistics 1 | 3 |
| IE 4333 | Production Control 1 | 3 |
| Choose two additional industrial engineering courses from this list: |
