Department Overview
The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research combines two closely-related professions concerned with the efficient operation of complex systems. The industrial engineering profession involves the design, organization, implementation, and economic operation of integrated production and service systems using people, materials, and equipment. Operations research emphasizes the basic understanding of the functioning of complex systems of technology and management through the development and analysis of mathematical models for the purpose of predicting system behavior and/or optimizing system performance, under economic and technological constraints.
Undergraduate Program
The Bachelor of Science degree program in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research is designed to prepare students for technical careers in production or service industries as well as provide preparation for specialized graduate study in operations research, industrial engineering, or business administration. The core of the program includes basic training in science, mathematics, probability, statistics, and engineering, followed by courses in optimization and stochastic models. These courses form the methodological foundation for upper division IEOR elective courses addressing the analysis and design of production and service systems, information systems, human work systems and organization.
The department also offers a minor in industrial engineering and operations research that is open to students not majoring in IEOR who have completed the necessary prerequisites for the minor course requirements. The department also offers graduate degree programs in IEOR leading to the degrees Master of Science, Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy. For complete information on all IEOR degree programs, please visit the IEOR department’s web site, http://www.ieor.berkeley.edu/.
This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Notes
1Chemistry 4A is for students majoring in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a closely related field.
2The Humanities/Social Science (H/SS) requirement includes two approved reading and composition courses and four additional approved courses, with which a number of specific conditions must be satisfied. Reading and Composition “A” and “B” must be completed by no later than the end of the sophomore year. The remaining courses may be taken at any time during the program. See engineering.berkeley.edu/hss for complete details and a list of approved courses.
3Engineering Breadth: 9 units must be completed from the following list BioE 10, 102; CE 11, C30, 60, 70, 155; Engin 15, 25, 26, 27, 28, 45, 115; EE 16A, 16B; MSE 111, ME 40, C85, 132.
4Students must take a minimum of six courses from the list below:
- IEOR 115-Industrial and Commercial Data Systems
- IEOR 130-Methods of Manufacturing Improvement
- IEOR 150-Production Systems Analysis
- IEOR 151-Service Operations Design and Analysis
- IEOR 153-Facilities Planning and Design
- IEOR 166-Decision Analysis
- IEOR 170-Human Factors for Engineering Design
- IEOR 171-Introduction to Design of Human Work Systems and Organization
5A course in Computer Programming must be completed: CS 9C, 9F, 9G, or 61A. CS 9C is a prerequisite for CS 9G.
Additional requirements/Notes:
- IEOR 172 is an alternative course for Statistics 134. In semesters when both are offered, we recommend you take IEOR 172. Students may not receive credit for both Statistics 134 and IEOR 172.
- IEOR 95, 185, 186, 190 series courses, 191, 192, and 195 cannot be used to fulfill any engineering requirements (units, courses, technical electives or otherwise).
6Free electives can be any technical or non-technical course. A course of your interest offered by any department at Cal; there are no restrictions.
* A minimum of 120 units is required for graduation.
