A+ Options for B Students: Industrial Engineering

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>I am trying to form a list of schools with Industrial Engineering, but I'm not really finding THAT many places. I am looking for places more so on/around the East Coast - Mid West; the West coast would be preferable too. Also, I am looking for more private schools but I am more than open to state schools.</p>

<p>So far I have:
RIT
Northeastern
Purdue
Kettering </p>

<p>It would be greatly appreciated if you guys could help me compile a list since I am having trouble finding good/great schools for a B student that offer industrial engineering. It seems as if every time I find a school I'm interested in I check their programs and they do not offer IE! So, please help if possible.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Look into Texas A&M or even University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I think this major may be offered at some southern schools. Check also the Alabama U's, like UA or even Auburn.</p>

<p>^^IE was eliminated at UA years ago.</p>

<p>Cal Poly: SLO</p>

<h1>1 in the nation for Undergrad</h1>

5

<p>Virginia Tech has IE (maybe it's ISE, is that the same thing?) although if you're a literal B student you can't get in.</p>

6

<p>What is a B student? Is that like a 3.0?</p>

<p>A good place to look is on the US NEWS rankings, not necessarily for the actual ranking, but it will give you a better idea of what schools are offering the programs. From your discription I would say look into Purdue for sure, it's well known for IE and relatively easy to get into.</p>

<p>^Relatively easy to get into? I had a 4.0 and didn't get in.... I wouldn't have gone anyway; it's a little too far from home for my liking.</p>

<p>Are you kidding? Georgia Tech has been #1 since the beginning of time in industrial engineering. The rankings aren't even close.</p>

<p>I assume you mean "#1 of all programs that do not have a PhD". That's sort of like winning the NIT.</p>

<p>lol Burdell wins</p>

<p>I think some places have Management Engineering....which may be similar.</p>

<p>In NJ there’s Rutgers and NJIT. Penn State has a good IE program. Drexel in Philly has a Business and Engineering program and you could get a good co-op too.</p>

<p>Your talking about Undergrad IE or graduate IE?</p>

<p>Undergrad engineering in anything within the top 30 in general is faar too competitive for 3.0-3.3 unweighted students (B to B+ average range).Most undergrad engineering schools i looked into had most of its engineering student body within top 20% of their class with A- unweighted average. </p>

<p>If you have great SAT’s and excellent essays you might be the exception</p>

<p>A+ schools that are not overly competitive for IE</p>

<p>University of Florida
North Carolina State University
Arizona State
Ohio State
Iowa State
Rutgers
University of Pittsburgh
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute</p>

<p>I would suggest to apply to more unknown programs as safeties as well, as long as its ABET accredited your most likely to get a great education. Do well, save money, and get into a great graduate program. </p>

<p>I’m about to finish my BS.c from a no name ABET school and already got accepted to a few top 10 IE MS programs for graduate school, no dept, saved a bunch of money and will still get that boost with name brand on my resume and get to learn from world class faculty within world class facilities.</p>
