Department of Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the optimization of complex processes or systems. It integrates concepts from engineering, mathematics, and social sciences aimed at enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations. The work of industrial engineers entails system analysis to identify problems, devise ways of solution development, and implement changes to improve such systems. They get involved in various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, etc. The main tasks of the industrial engineers also include designing and improving the production processes, facility layout development for efficiency, supply chain management, quality control, etc. They achieve these goals by utilizing simulation modeling, statistical analysis, data analytics, and lean manufacturing principles. The work of an industrial engineer also deals with human factors engineering, which interacts between humans and technology to develop user-friendly systems. A career in industrial engineering offers numerous opportunities for professional growth and advancement. With more companies seeking ways to further develop and achieve an advantage in their processes, industrial engineers are highly in demand. Building a great basis of problem-solving, thinking analytically, and applying systems thinking are various ways where an industrial engineer could be highly beneficial to any-sized organization.
