WELCOME To The Department Of Industrial Engineering

OVERVIEW

The Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Business and Technology offers a bachelor degree in industrial engineering, which enables undergraduates to become valuable members within the industry participating in various fields such as Industrial management systems, supply chain management, total quality management, and production/service system improvement, to increase productivity and to reduce both variability and waste.

In addition, Industrial engineering focuses on human factors, as well as engineering safety systems. We offer undergraduate Industrial Engineering program, which was designed to comply with the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Job opportunities and career prospect within the industrial engineering field are diverse and promising as an example industrial engineers can work in the following areas:

Production Engineering:

Working in factories to design layout, improve the production system, and reduce waste.

Quality Management:

Quality control/assurance engineer, the application of international standards for quality, defects reduction, increasing customer satisfaction.

Human Factors Engineer:

Working in area of safety engineering to ensure no injuries or accidents happens to the work force, designing systems and products that are safe for human use.

Supply chain management:

Production planning and control, inventory management, purchasing and sales of technical products, inspection of imported products.

Project management, feasibility studies, maintenance management, consultancy and organizational development. In the area of industrial engineering, students are being prepared with practical knowledge that will enable them for benefiting from Information technology and technical skills in their field. This is accomplished from a combination of lectures, experiments, practical case studies, group mini projects, and visits to factories and production systems.

Mission

Industrial Engineering Department has to obtain good regional reputation in the graduation of leaders who will contribute effectively to the development of society

Objectives

The objective of the Department of Industrial Engineering (IE) is to provide outstanding educational program with the goal of developing highly skilled and professional industrial engineers that are able to succeed in their careers.

Curriculum and Plan

REQUIREMENTS PROGRAM

UBT’s Requirements Program consists of non-credited courses and English courses aimed at improving students’ language proficiency before they begin their undergraduate studies, as well as to develop and improve students’ knowledge of mathematical and analytical techniques through the medium of English Language.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING PLAN

It is of great importance to follow the program plan throughout its different semesters, as it was designed to prepare students in each stage to completely benefit from the subsequent stages. Additionally, it is crucial for students to meet their academic advisor and follow the study plan of their major closely, which would typically include taking the lower level courses in the first and second year, getting as much general education as possible, and then moving on to take the major courses and possibly some minor courses. This is a very carefully structured process that students should closely adhere to.
