Overview of the Industrial and Robotics Engineering Program

Industrial and robotics ngineers learn to apply human and material resources to the efficient, optimized, resourceful, and profitable creation of and/or provision of services. Students in Gannon University’s Industrial and Robotics Engineering (IRE) program can choose from one of the following six concentrations.

• Economics and Financial Systems Healthcare Systems • International industrial engineering • Robotics and Production engineering • Supply Chain and Logistics Systems • Ergonomics and Human Factors

The IRE program creates opportunities for students to optimize their educational experience through collaboration and/or course cross-listings with other programs on campus, such as mechanical engineering, mathematics, biomedical engineering, the Dahlkemper School of Business, the Small Business Development Center, and the Erie Technology Incubator. This program prepares students for technical leadership roles that involves the interface between engineering and business professionals. Some of the other key components of their learning include the design of efficient and safe working environments, and human-centered design. Science, mathematics, business, and engineering methods are at the core of industrial and robotics engineering, where students will learn to apply them to complex systems and processes. The IRE curriculum is designed to ensure that students acquire knowledge and skills in a wide variety of engineering and management disciplines as well as robotics. Because IRE is a wide- ranging discipline with numerous career options, students can decide where they want to work, and find their skill sets directly applicable. Our industrial and robotics engineering program remain ahead of the curve with participation in the constant evolution of the technology landscape. You will be part of the team contributing meaningfully to defining the future of technology and creating innovative products and process designs.

Industrial and Robotics Engineers (IREs)

(a) Find ways to design effective work systems and eliminate wastefulness in a broad range of processes. (b) Devise efficient ways to improve productivity in systems involving the interplay of workers, machines, materials, information, and energy in the creation of a product or the provision of a service. (c) Device ways to do things better; (d) Find ways that are smarter, faster, safer, and easier, so that companies become more efficient, productive, and profitable, and employees have work environments that are safer and more rewarding; (e) Automate manufacturing and service processes to increase production and precision, and (f) Build, configure and test robots for different applications. (g) Studies human-machine/human-robot ‘working relationships’ in an integrated work environment to determine and implement measures that ensure the comfort of the human while at the same time, improving productivity. You might think from their name that industrial and robotics engineers just work for manufacturing companies, but they are employed in a wide range of industries, including the service, entertainment, shipping, and healthcare fields. For example, nobody likes to wait in a long line to get on a roller coaster ride, or to get admitted to the hospital. Industrial engineers tell companies how to shorten these processes. They try to make life and products better and do more with fewer resources. The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
