Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways for an organization to use the basic factors of production - people, machines, materials, information, and energy - to make or process a product or produce a service. They are the bridge between management goals and operational performance. They are concerned with increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business organization, and technology than engineers in other specialties, who generally work more with products or processes. To solve organizational, production, and related problems most efficiently, industrial engineers can achieve the following:
The Industrial Engineering program at the International University of Science and Technology in Kuwait prepares students for professional performance in the industrial world and mainly in the Kuwait market to be key players in managing the industrial sectors. The program also prepares students to become life-long learners and continue professional development in the industrial engineering profession. This is achieved through a comprehensive, forward-looking, and broad-based curriculum emphasizing on fundamentals and practical applications, oral and written communication skills, computer applications skills, and professional practice issues and ethics.
Graduates of the Industrial Engineering program are expected within 5-7 years of graduation to:
It is worth mentioning that these PEOs are reference to ABET accreditation body.
