The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering department offers two bachelor of science degree programs at SIUE. The department offers the ONLY ABET accredited industrial engineering degree program in Southern Illinois and the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. The bachelor degree in manufacturing engineering is a new program effective Fall 2000. The programs are backed by dedicated, committed and excellent faculty and their contents are designed to prepare students for the 21st century.

The following information describing upper division enrollment, academic status, and exit requirements are as described within the SIUE 2003-2005 Undergraduate Catalog, which may also be viewed by visiting the online SIUE Registrar.

Upper-Division Enrollment in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Courses
The requirements for enrollment in upper-division industrial and manufacturing engineering courses are:

1. Satisfactory completion of all University and School of Engineering admission requirements;

2. An approved application for enrollment in upper-division Engineering courses;

3. Satisfactory completion of the lower-division (core) courses CE 204, 240; CHEM 121a, 125a; CS 145; ECE 210; ENG 101, 102; MATH 150, 152, 250, 305; ME 262; PHYS 211a, 211b, 212a, 212b; and SPC 103; with a grade point average of at least 2.0 for the above courses is required for non-transfer students, transfer students from articulated programs, and Illinois resident transfer students; a grade point average of at least 2.25 for the above courses is required for other transfer students; and

4. A grade point average of 2.0 or better in CS 145, CE 204, 240, ECE 210, and ME 262 (both original and repeat grades are computed in the grade point average)

Academic Status
Students must meet the following standards. Students who fail to do so will be placed on probation in the major.

1. Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0.

2. Maintain a term grade point average above 1.0 in any term.

3. Maintain a cumulative grade point average of a least 2.0 in all mathematics and science courses.

4. Maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least a 2.0 in courses taught in the School of Engineering.

5. Maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in major courses numbered above 299.

6. Receive no more than two failure grades, incomplete, and/or withdrawals in any combination for a single course required in the major.

Students placed on probation should seek immediate advisement and will be given the conditions required for removal from probation. If the conditions are not met, students are dropped from the major and may not enroll in upper-division School of Engineering courses without written departmental permission. After one year, students are eligible to re-apply for admission to the major. Students dropped from the major may direct a written appeal to the departmental Academic Standards Committee.

Exit Requirements
Degree requirements include the following:

1. A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher for engineering courses

2. A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher for Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering courses numbered above 299

3. Completion of all departmental and University requirements

4. Completion of the Senior Assignment with IME 490 ­ Integrated Engineering Design, and

5. A grade of C or better for IME 345, 365, 468 and 483 for industrial engineering majors, or

6. A grade of C or better for IME 345, 365, 370 and 482 for manufacturing engineering majors.
