Therefore, in addition to the training in the fundamental principles of engineering, every student in the Newark College of Engineering is required to take all of the courses listed in the Department of Industrial Engineering.
This department serves as a link between industry and the college. It is responsible for the direction and administration of student work in industrial plants and organizations. Beginning in the freshman year, students are interviewed several times to determine their fitness and their preferences regarding placement in industrial plants. Records of these interviews are used in placing students in industrial work and in summer work.
The department arranges for the placement of students in industry and for the details of working plans or programs for each student. After the student is placed, contact with the employer is maintained by frequent visits to the plant. The progress of each student is carefully supervised, and, in cooperation with a representative of the firms, records are kept showing the progress of each student throughout the period of his employment. Students must receive a satisfactory mark in their industrial work before they are eligible for graduation.
The department seeks to give the student effective individual guidance, a gradual, consistent orientation to his professional life, and a keen awareness of human relation values of his obligations as a citizen and a member of society.
The department uses as mediums, certain courses extending over the college career, established psychological tests, supervised industrial placement, personal interviews, thorough treatment of Staff Control, Economics and Management and lectures and group discussions with men prominent in fields connected with this program.
The department also acts as a link between its graduates and industry. It conducts a placement bureau for the purpose of helping the graduates better their employment opportunities.
