UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
Industrial Engineering
with Production and Manufacturing majors was the first MSc degree
program offered at the university way back in 1983. Industrial Engineering
had assumed a distinctive place as sub-discipline in Mechanical
Engineering Department since then. With the creation of Industrial
Engineering Department, this program has been shifted to the department.
MSc degree program in Industrial Engineering spans over two years
and specializes in Manufacturing Systems Engineering. The department
is also offering a broad-based Master’s program in Engineering
Management. An independent four-year program leading to BSc degree
in Industrial Engineering is being introduced with 2010-entry at
the university.
Courses of Study
The Industrial Engineering courses are built on fundamentals of
Mathematical, Physical and Computing Sciences. The curriculum is
designed to educate students in diverse areas of theory and practices
in engineering and management domains. The following areas are specifically
enriched for disseminating state-of-the-art knowledge to future
builders of the nation:
• Computational Industrial Engineering
• Human Resource’s Skill development
• Managerial Capabilities Inculcation
• High-tech Manufacturing Technology and Management
• Quality, Productivity and Cost Effectiveness
On the core technology side, BSc in Industrial Engineering offers
students a unique opportunity to learn classical production technologies
in courses like Workshop Technology, Manufacturing Processes, Metrology
and Tool Engineering. The high-tech courses embed in students the
capabilities to learn and acquire modern production systems in courses
like CAD/CAM, Robotics, Automation and CIM. Soft technologies encompassing
Statistical Analysis, Economics Optimization and Simulation Modeling
Courses prepare students to design and build large and complex systems
for efficiency and effectiveness. Also, strong emphasis has been
ensured to inculcate managerial capabilities in industrial engineering
students by including a host of courses in management electives.
Rich industrial neighborhood around the University offers prospective
industrial engineering students an ideal environment to groom their
professional skills. These industries include HMC, HIT, POF, KSB,
TIP, PAF complex at Kamra, BESTWAY and a host of SME’s in
nearby Hattar Industrial Estate. The department has a fully functional
Workshop, a large Machine Tools Laboratory and a state-of-the-art
Advanced Manufacturing System (AMS) Centre equipped with CNC Machines,
Rapid-Prototyping Machine, about two dozen CAD/CAM workstations
and highly sophisticated open-FMS System housing AGV/ASRS and Automated
Inspection System.”The department has established five more
state of the art labs which includes Management systems lab, Machine
tool and machining lab, Meteorology and Quality Control lab, CAD/CAM
and Automation lab and Ergonomics and safety Engineering lab.”
