The Industrial Engineering B.S.I.E. program is eligible for freshman students who want to participate in an Eight-Semester Degree Completion Program. The plan below lists a semester-by-semester sequence of courses to finish the degree in eight semesters. Not all courses are offered every semester, so students who deviate from the suggested sequence must pay careful attention to course scheduling and course prerequisites.

Students must also take ENGL 2003 during the third year or gain exemption.

** If the student selected CHEM 1123/1121L as their freshman science elective then this must be PHYS 2074 University Physics II; otherwise see the approved list of IE science electives.
*** Engineering Science 1 (MEEG 2003 Statics or MEEG 2023 Intro. to Mech.); Engineering Science 2 (If ES 1 = MEEG 2003, then ES 2 = MEEG 3013), (If ES 1 = MEEG 2023, then ES 2 = MEEG 2303)

Technical Electives
The purpose of technical electives is to provide students with the opportunity to expand their education along lines of particular interest to them. The approved list of technical electives is available in the industrial engineering department. At least three hours must be selected from INEG courses.

Humanities/Social Science Electives
Although any elective included on the humanities/social science list may be selected, PSYC 2003 General Psychology is recommended for industrial engineers.

Science Elective
The approved list of science electives is available in the industrial engineering departmental office.

The University of Arkansas has adopted University Core Requirements (sometimes called State Minimum Core) of 35 semester-credit-hours of general education courses that are required of all baccalaureate degree candidates. This is in compliance with Arkansas Act 98 of 1989 and the subsequent action of the Arkansas State Board of Higher Education. Beginning in the fall semester of 1991, all state institutions of higher education in Arkansas have a 35-hour minimum core requirement with specified hours in each of six academic areas. The University and the College of Engineering have identified those courses that meet the minimum requirement, and they are listed in the chart below.

Students should consult the requirements for specific departments and programs when choosing courses for use in the UA University Core.

Every student in the College of Engineering is required to complete a minimum of 18 semester hours in the humanities and social sciences. Six semester hours must be at the 3000-level or above. A list of approved upper-level humanities/social science courses is available in departmental offices and the dean’s office. 

No more than nine semester hours from any single discipline may be presented for degree credit. To meet the University Core requirements, the total number of hours (both upper level and lower level) in the fine arts/humanities courses must be at least six, and the social science hours must total at least nine (in addition to the U.S. history or government requirement). The six hours of courses at the 3000 and 4000 level may be in the fine arts and humanities area, the social science area, or divided between the two areas. Since some of the humanities and social science courses are specified in some of the curricula, e.g., ECON 2143 in chemical and mechanical engineering, the student should consult the curriculum of the department in which he or she is enrolled prior to selecting upper-level electives.
