Fall 2025 Trine Course Catalog

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering Technology (120 hrs.)

Trine University will prepare learners enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering Technology (BSIET) program for various roles in the manufacturing sector. BSIET graduates will “succeed, lead, and serve” their future employers through the application of Lean manufacturing, process improvement methodologies, industrial data analysis, problem solving, and industrial leadership skills. Graduates will emerge into the workforce as leaders with a strong manufacturing foundation ready to uncover opportunities to increase production quality while reducing costs and lead times, maintaining compliance in a safe work environment. The BSIET curriculum offers a comprehensive review of industrial engineering technology from basic drafting of geometric sections to managing teams of professionals in an ever-changing manufacturing environment.

Mission

The Trine University Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering Technology (BSIET) program prepares students to lead and succeed in manufacturing, industrial, and technology career fields by developing foundational expertise in process improvement, quality, and supply chain analysis. Graduates of the program will be equipped to solve complex technical problems, promote efficiencies throughout the organization, and serve as change agents driving continuous improvement.

Outcomes

Our program assures that students attain the following outcomes:

  1. Apply technical drawing techniques to draft geometric sections.
  2. Classify industrial materials, including common and exotic types, based on characteristics and applications.
  3. Evaluate manufacturing and assembly processes by assessing industrial equipment, automation, and quality improvement strategies to optimize efficiency.
