Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering

Description

The Industrial Engineering program deals with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. The program draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, to predict, and to evaluate the results obtained from such systems.

The program provides a strong foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, information technology, methods improvement programs, work measurement, optimization, quality engineering, systems engineering, ergonomics, logistics and supply chain, and production systems. In the third year of the program, students are required to choose 1 among several specialization tracks: Data Analytics, Ergonomics, Supply Chain Management, Financial Management and Investment, Service and Value Management, Production and Quality Assurance.

The Data Analytics track equips students with skills in statistical modeling, machine learning, and AI to support data-driven decision-making in an increasingly digital world. Ergonomics focuses on optimizing work environments by aligning system design with human capabilities to ensure safety, efficiency, and well-being. Supply Chain Management prepares students to manage logistics, procurement, and distribution systems with agility and sustainability in mind, addressing modern global challenges. The Financial Management and Investment track introduces students to financial modeling, risk management, and investment analysis, enabling them to make value-based decisions and support entrepreneurial initiatives. In Service and Value Management, students learn to enhance customer experiences and streamline service systems through process improvement and value creation strategies. Lastly, the Production and Quality Assurance track develops expertise in lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and quality control tools to ensure product reliability and operational excellence across industries.
