FACULTY OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT SCIENCES<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> is the branch <strong>of</strong> engineering that<br />
is concerned with the Design, Analysis, <strong>and</strong> Operation <strong>of</strong><br />
Systems. These can range from a consumer product or<br />
single piece <strong>of</strong> equipment to large business, social, <strong>and</strong><br />
environmental systems. Industrial Engineers determine<br />
the most effective ways to utilize the basic factors <strong>of</strong><br />
ProductionPeople, Machines, Materials, Information, <strong>and</strong><br />
Energyto make a product or provide a service. The Industrial<br />
Engineer’s interest lies in modeling system functions <strong>and</strong><br />
determining how best to achieve the objectives <strong>of</strong> the system.<br />
The methods employed in Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> provide an<br />
excellent vehicle for considering both private <strong>and</strong> public costs<br />
<strong>and</strong> benefits.<br />
Industrial Engineers by virtue <strong>of</strong> education <strong>and</strong> training<br />
have the opportunity to work in a variety <strong>of</strong> departments<br />
<strong>and</strong> businesses. The most distinctive aspect <strong>of</strong> industrial<br />
engineering is the flexibility that it <strong>of</strong>fers. Whether it’s<br />
shortening a rollercoaster line, streamlining an operating<br />
room, distributing products worldwide, or manufacturing<br />
superior automobiles, all share the common goal <strong>of</strong> saving<br />
money <strong>and</strong> increasing efficiencies. The need for Industrial<br />
Engineers is growing. Why? Industrial Engineers are the only<br />
engineering pr<strong>of</strong>essionals trained as productivity <strong>and</strong> quality<br />
improvement specialists. Industrial Engineers figure out how<br />
to do things better. They engineer processes <strong>and</strong> systems that<br />
improve quality <strong>and</strong> productivity.<br />
THE DEPARTMENT<br />
Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> with Production <strong>and</strong> Manufacturing<br />
majors was the first MSc degree program <strong>of</strong>fered at the<br />
university way back in 1983. Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> had<br />
assumed a distinctive place as sub-discipline in Mechanical<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> Department since then. With the creation<br />
<strong>of</strong> Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> Department, this program has<br />
been shifted to the department. MSc degree program in<br />
Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> spans over two years <strong>and</strong> specializes<br />
in Manufacturing Systems <strong>Engineering</strong>. The department is<br />
also <strong>of</strong>fering a broad-based Master’s program in <strong>Engineering</strong><br />
Management. An independent four-year program leading to<br />
BSc degree in Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> is being introduced with<br />
2010-entry at the university.<br />
COURSES OF STUDY<br />
The Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong> courses are built on fundamentals<br />
<strong>of</strong> Mathematical, Physical <strong>and</strong> Computing Sciences. The<br />
curriculum is designed to educate students in diverse areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> theory <strong>and</strong> practices in engineering <strong>and</strong> management<br />
domains. The following areas are specifically enriched for<br />
disseminating state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art knowledge to future builders<br />
<strong>of</strong> the nation;<br />
· Computational Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong><br />
· Human Resource’s Skill development<br />
· Managerial Capabilities Inculcation<br />
· High-tech Manufacturing Technology <strong>and</strong> Management<br />
· Quality, Productivity <strong>and</strong> Cost Effectiveness<br />
On the core technology side, BSc in Industrial <strong>Engineering</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong>fers students a unique opportunity to learn classical<br />
production technologies in courses like Workshop Technology,<br />
Manufacturing Processes, Metrology <strong>and</strong> Tool <strong>Engineering</strong>.<br />
The high-tech courses embed in students the capabilities to<br />
learn <strong>and</strong> acquire modern production systems in courses like<br />
CAD/CAM, Robotics, Automation <strong>and</strong> CIM.<br />
S<strong>of</strong>t technologies encompassing Statistical Analysis,<br />
Economics Optimization <strong>and</strong> Simulation Modeling courses<br />
prepare students to design <strong>and</strong> build large <strong>and</strong> complex<br />
systems for efficiency <strong>and</strong> effectiveness. Also, strong emphasis<br />
has been ensured to inculcate managerial capabilities in<br />
industrial engineering students by including a host <strong>of</strong> courses<br />
in management electives.<br />
Rich industrial neighourhood around the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
prospective industrial engineering students an ideal<br />
environment to groom their pr<strong>of</strong>essional skills. These<br />
industries include HMC, HIT, POF, KSB, TIP, PAF complex at<br />
Kamra, BESTWAY <strong>and</strong> a host <strong>of</strong> SME’s in nearby Hattar Industrial<br />
Estate.<br />
The department has a fully functional Workshop, a large<br />
Machine Tools Laboratory <strong>and</strong> a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art Advanced<br />
Manufacturing System (AMS) Centre equipped with CNC<br />
Machines, Rapid-Prototyping Machine, about two-dozen<br />
CAD/CAM workstations <strong>and</strong> highly sophisticated open-FMS<br />
System housing AGV/ASRS <strong>and</strong> Automated Inspection System.
