It is more important than ever to effectively utilize the resources under increasing population and consumer demands while there are limited and decreasing resources. Growing globalization and communication methods allowed demand and production to go beyond borders. Industrial Engineers follow the “Engineers make, and Industrial Engineers improve and develop” rule. It contributes to increasing productivity everywhere, such as in governmental offices, factories, hospitals, banks, and many other businesses.
The main objective of for-profit organizations is to produce the cheapest and highest quality products and outputs while minimizing their inputs. Industrial Engineering deals with the design, development, and management of systems in which a mixture of material, energy, information systems, capital, equipment, labor, and time resources are effectively used. In this respect, Industrial Engineers need to have advanced coordinating skills, system thinking ability, and good analytical and quantitative skills. They prefer to use the tools to reach the information they need to solve a problem and develop themselves to keep up with the changing times.
The mission of the Industrial Engineering department is to provide its students most current scientific methods for design, development, and effective management of production, service, and hybrid systems. As a department, we work hard to develop our students’ system thinking skills, analytical thinking, modeling, and research abilities to solve the problems they face. We provide a required scientific, technical and social foundation that will allow them to excel in their career path and hence grow into individuals who contribute to society.
We aim to provide students with a strong background in essential industrial engineering topics, especially operations research and optimization, simulation, production planning and control, statistical quality control, programming tools for Industrial Engineers, statistical decision-making, engineering economics, cost analysis, and system analysis, etc. Having the necessary skills and requisites, students can focus on production and operations research sections and select courses such as Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Decision Support Systems, Network Analysis and Economics, Operations Research, and Management Science Applications in Healthcare multiobjective optimization.
One of the primary goals of the Industrial Engineering department is to reach a distinguished position among peer and equivalent departments. Upon their graduation, our students are employed in almost all areas such as production, finance, banking, energy, healthcare, logistics, and information systems, and they can direct their careers successfully. That proves that we are on the right path to reaching our goals. We are confident that the department will have a unique position with our excellent faculty members, students, and graduates.
