Because the Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering programs are closely related, many students elect to earn a dual major or double degree in these two disciplines.
Dual Major in Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering
Earning a dual major in Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering means you will receive one Bachelor's of Science diploma listing both majors, and it involves 2 additional courses beyond the course requirements for the MfgE major alone.
To complete the dual MfgE-IE major:
-
Use the Academic Plan for Manufacturing Engineering to record your credits and chart your progress.
-
Apply to the Manufacturing Engineering Professional Program at the appropriate point in your program sequence.
-
Once admitted to the Manufacturing Engineering Professional Program, petition the College of Engineering to officially add Industrial Engineering as a second major.
-
Take IE 425 for your manufacturing systems elective.
-
Take one (1) additional upper-division IE course from the Restricted Electives list found on the Academic Plan for Industrial Engineering.
- Take IE 426 if Pro-IE major was added after spring 2017.
Double Degree in Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering
Earning a double degree in Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering means you will receive two Bachelor's of Science diplomas: one in manufacturing engineering and another in industrial engineering. Completing a BS IE degree in addition to a BS MfgE degree entails 32 additional credits beyond the credit requirement for the BS MfgE degree alone.
To complete the double degree in MfgE and IE:
-
Use the Academic Plan for Manufacturing Engineering to record your credits and chart your progress.
-
Apply to the Manufacturing Engineering Professional Program at the appropriate point in your program sequence.
-
Once admitted to the Manufacturing Engineering Professional Program, petition the College of Engineering to officially add Industrial Engineering as a second degree.
-
Take IE 425 for your manufacturing systems elective.
-
Complete 32 additional credits as specified below. All of these credits must be earned at OSU.
- 3-4 credits of upper-division IE coursework from the Restricted Electives list found on the Academic Plan for Industrial Engineering (see note below regarding IE 426).
- 12-13 additional credits from the Restricted Electives list
- If Pro-IE major was added before summer 2017, it is strongly recommended that students take IE 426 as part of their 12-13 additional credits from the IE Restricted Elective list.
- If Pro-IE major was added after spring 2017, IE 426 must be included in the 12-13 additional credits from the IE Restricted Elective list.
- 16 credits of other OSU coursework not being applied to your MfgE degree requirements
