ABET.org lists 119 schools in the US with bachelor’s degree programs in industrial engineering.

Among these, you may be able to find suitable safeties to add to your apparently-mostly-reach list.

Some of your list does not have industrial engineering listed as an ABET accredited bachelor’s degree program.

Northwestern (industrial engineering no longer ABET accredited after 2020)

Boston University (no industrial engineering)

CWRU (has ABET accredited systems engineering, some overlap but not exactly the same as industrial engineering)

Cornell (operations research engineering no longer ABET accredited after 2005)

Rice (offers industrial engineering as graduate program only)

You may want to check if ABET accreditation is important in hiring of industrial engineers. It is specifically important for either PE licensing (for signing off on designs used by the general public; most common in civil engineering) or the patent exam, but many working in engineering do not do these things, in which case it mainly matters whether employers of their major are looking specifically for ABET accreditation, assuming that the major exists at the college.
