Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the optimum way of designing, operating, and developing production and service systems. It will continue to be one of the most demanded professions in the future as it is today.
Industrial engineers analyze systems as a whole, identify problems, and provide solutions based on engineering principles and analytical methods. Their goal is to reach the best solution by utilizing resources such as humans, machines, raw materials, energy, and knowledge in the best way possible. Industrial engineering develops and implements various scientific methods for production and service systems to operate more efficiently, more effectively, more cost effectively, and with least errors. Industrial Engineers analyzes systems not only based on physical aspects; they also make their analyzes by considering planning, decision making processes, organization, coordination, materials-work-knowledge floss, human-machine interactions, and quality management. Industrial engineering has wide and flexible areas of application. It serves as a bridge between management and technical operations. Some of the reasons why industrial engineering is such a popular major are: the increased awareness about the significance of productivity and effectiveness in all industries, the increase in the complexity of operations, and the realization that management should be more informed about and have more control over operations and procedures.
Today, industrial engineers are highly demanded by lots of fields such as information technology, telecommunication, energy, education, consulting, logistics, banking, finance, health, and tourism. Our industrial engineering students are trained in
research and data analysis,
fast, accurate, flexible problem solving,
