Industrial Engineering

Description

The Industrial Engineering program deals in the design, improvement and installation of products, processes and integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. The program must have a specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. The program provides a broad spectrum including production planning and control, manufacturing systems and processes, facilities design, human factors, occupational safety, quality control, systems reliability, and systems analysis and design with a strong emphasis on advanced computing. A total systems approach is used to optimize the various aspects of operations in both manufacturing and service industries.

Graduates of the program use many analytical approaches to improve productivity, safety, and quality of working life while reducing operating costs.

Educational Objectives

Graduates of industrial engineering program will have the technical skills and professional qualifications to become competent engineers who can support the industry, academe, or government.
Graduates of industrial engineering program will be collaborators and innovators in the field, leading or participating in efforts to address social, technical, ethical and business challenges.
Graduates of industrial engineering program will be engaged in life-long learning and professional development.
