About

According to the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE), Industrial Engineering is concerned with "The design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical and the social science together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems." 

It draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in mathematics, basic and applied engineering sciences, engineering management and social sciences. Industrial engineers specify, predict, evaluate and design systems with a view to improve efficiency, productivity, quality and safety.  In this program, students are prepared to deal with issues regarding production management, manufacturing systems, quality management, facilities planning, simulation and safety engineering, and are involved in preparing, reviewing, and updating technical documentation.
