Study programme aims and objectives

The program provides the students with the following:
- a sound knowledge of the design,
development, implementation, and evaluation of integrated manufacturing systems of technology, knowledge of the needed equipment, people and materials. Industrial engineering includes studying the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as operations management, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering or manufacturing systems engineering;
- problem solving skills required in developing up-to-date knowledge and procedures and skills in integrating knowledge from fields of manufacturing engineering and management, the ability to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources. The graduates must also be capable of demonstrating how to integrate management systems into a series of different technological environments
- an understanding of how the relationships work between the tasks of planning, organization, leadership, control, and the human element in production, research, and service organizations;
- to provide the prerequisite for obtaining the professional degree of Mechanical Engineer. Show more...
