(Industrial Engineering)
The aim of this program is to provide graduates with
knowledge and skills in the application of scientific methods
to increase productivity by re-engineering of processes,
systems modelling and analysis.
The Industrial Engineering (IE) program is designed in
response to the critical need in modern society for an
engineering approach to solving problems relating to the
interplay of people, productivity, information, and
management. IE relates to the total picture of productivity
improvement through the analysis, design, installation,
control, evaluation, and improvement of integrated systems
of people, materials, information, equipment, processes.
Course design & career potential
In the first semester emphasis is placed on fundamental
through a thorough coverage of the fundamental concepts of
IE, to ~rovide students early on with important insights into
the IE profession. This is supplemented with other subjects
emphasising the detailed aspects of total quality and
procedures for productivity improvement, and the modern
ways of managing manufacturing systems including JIT. As
an emphasis on manufacturing, the technology management
subjects introduce all aspects of adoption of new technology
including financial analysis, project management and
provides an overview of both traditional and modern
production methods. The unique feature of IE graduates is
their ability to apply their knowledge in any organisation.
Examples are Banks, Hospitals, Insurance and Airline
companies, Governmental offices, Transportation industry,
Telecommunication and all types of manufacturing
companies.
