OVERVIEW
The Department of Industrial Engineering has been recently established at UMT. Industrial Engineering is committed to preparing the next generation of leaders who are technically adept and globally aware. Becoming an Industrial Engineer is an exciting journey that begins with undergraduate study and requires a commitment to lifelong learning and professional development. Industrial Engin
eering graduates share a distinct set of attributes. World-class industrial engineers are:
Aware of the World - Industrial Engineers are aware of the global nature of their profession, and the challenges and opportunities that it brings; they are sensitive to the cultural differences and the diversity that exists within individual cultures. Solidly Grounded - Industrial Engineers are solidly grounded in the fundamentals of their discipline. There solid foundation allows them to tackle complex, real-world problems and serves as the ground on which they build their knowledge and expertise through lifelong learning. Technically Broad - Industrial Engineers are conversant with other engineering and scientific disciplines related to their field, allowing them to work on problems that are cross-disciplinary. Versatile - Industrial Engineers are capable of learning new skills as they grow in their careers and of applying their engineering problem-solving skills in non-traditional fields such as financial services, healthcare, and education. Effective in Team Operations - Industrial Engineers are highly productive members of teams, co-located or geographically dispersed; they communicate effectively within and outside the team. Effective in Leadership Positions - Industrial Engineers are effective leaders at all levels, from technical team leader to CEO. Presently the Department of Industrial Engineering is offering Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) and there are plans for further education leading to MS and PhD. THE GOALS
The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering program is intended to enable students with engineering undergraduate degrees to enhance their training in special fields including production planning, inventory control, scheduling, and industrial economics. The program is designed for engineers and related technical professionals aspiring to achieve the highest levels of responsibility and leadership in the workplace. As a BSIE student, you will be broadly educated in all aspects of technical enterprises. The BSIE program is excellent preparation for industrial engineering program students who want to acquire substantial depth with respect to industrial engineering methods and the theory of the firm. Graduates of the industrial engineering program are expected to have following skills developed:
problem-solving, technical and managerial skills and knowledge related to Industrial Engineering and Management
A thorough understanding of the principles and technology related to Engineering and manufacturing services;
In-depth knowledge of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management concepts and techniques and the ability to apply these techniques in designing and managing manufacturing, engineering and other services;
The ability to conceptualize, analyze, synthesize and implement Industrial and services; and
Efficiently manage manufacturing, engineering and other technology-oriented systems. Utilize mathematics, basic and engineering sciences, problem solving and design skills to pursue a career or advanced studies in industrial engineering
Maintain the desire for innovation, creativity and lifelong learning
Communicate effectively in multidisciplinary teamwork environments
Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities and act accordingly within a global and social context. WHY DEGREE IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
The program is designed to enable students to acquire state-of-the-art knowledge in operations management, logistics and supply chain management, organizational theory and behavior, costing and finance, quality management, information technology, and other related topics. These courses focus on the management of operations in manufacturing, service and distribution enterprises. They will prepare managers who will be able to help their companies build a competitive edge based on high levels of technical and managerial competence. The courses aim for a high level of integration between management techniques and the technologies that they control, with emphasis on the strategic relevance of solutions. Industrial managers are the architects for the design of "operating systems" in organizations, both private and public, that are concerned with providing value to customers. Industrial managers are also responsible for effectively managing the operations of these organizations. The complexities of modern operations have increased greatly, both in terms of breadth and depth. An industrial manager now needs to be concerned with supply chain issues in a global perspective. The management of technology and knowledge has also taken on a more significant role in the growth and profitability of an organization, and has become the most critical resources in gaining a competitive advantage. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Students enrolling in the BS in Industrial Engineering program are usually graduates in engineering, sciences and other related disciplines. Most of them are employed in various industrial sectors: manufacturing, logistics, transportation, public utilities, government services, etc., and many of them are holding senior management positions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, industrial engineers hold about 201,000 jobs. This represents 13.4% of the 1.5 million jobs held by engineers in the U.S. Six in 10 of these jobs were in manufacturing industries, and an additional 1 in 10 worked in professional, scientific, and technical services firms, many of whom provide consulting services to manufacturing firms. Because their skills can be used in almost any type of organization, industrial engineers are more widely distributed among industries than are other engineers. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
