Industrial Engineering at St. Mary’s

The Industrial Engineering program at St. Mary’s University was established in 1960 as the University’s first engineering program, and it is still the only Industrial Engineering major in San Antonio. 

Industrial engineers improve efficiency and productivity in manufacturing and service industries. Working with both people and technology, students in the Industrial Engineering program learn to reduce waste, increase quality and work in technical and managerial positions. 

Program of Study

The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering is 128 credit hours, including 84 hours in Industrial Engineering courses and an elective in Engineering. Students will complete a year-long design project during their senior year.
