Engineering Department at UTEP Changes Name

The Department of Industrial Engineering at The University of Texas at El Paso will change its name to the Department of Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering, effective in January 2010.


“The new name of the department reflects the augmentation of our manufacturing program with a proposed Ph.D. program in manufacturing and includes the systems engineering graduate programs,” said Ricardo Pineda, Ph.D., chair of the department. “This change allows us to better align our education and research with the services-based economy and ever-evolving multi-disciplinary nature of complex systems of the Enterprises in the 21st Century.”

The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering. Master’s programs are available in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering and systems engineering. The recently approved Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering will also be administered by the department.
