Bachelor of Science In Industrial Engineering
 
Introduction
 
The undergraduate program in Industrial engineering has been designed to offer high quality, up-to-date and internationally recognized education program. It is prepared to contain scientific and technological foundations, integrated knowledge, and skills of the applied sciences, engineering sciences, and industrial engineering sciences. It is, also, prepared to contain the necessary decision-making techniques and tools. This equips the students with the capability to perform their work effectively. Also, it gives the student the flexibility to pursue careers in variety of manufacturing and service organizations and work in related job functions in consulting, industry (manufacturing and services), government and academia.
The undergraduate program in Industrial engineering is based on the knowledge and skills of four main areas of specialization (manufacturing systems engineering, industrial operations systems engineering, logistics and human factors engineering and quality, safety and maintenance systems engineering). All the areas are integrated in a program that provides the students with the necessary principles, tools and skills of Industrial Engineering profession that in turns gives the flexibility to pursue careers in variety of manufacturing and service organizations.
 
Industrial Engineering Program Mission:
 
The mission of the IEP is to offer a high-quality program to educate and graduate industrial engineers who are equipped with the scientific and technical capabilities and tools that allow them to effectively practice and lead the profession.
 
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):
 
  1. Graduates will be able to identify, define and implement effective solutions to real cases in the manufacturing and service systems by applying industrial engineering sciences and tools, contemporary knowledge and cutting-edge technologies.
  2. Graduates will be able to update their professional skills continuously to design integrated production systems of people, machines, information, energy, materials and financial resources.
  3. Graduates will be able to communicate and work effectively and ethically as individuals and as team members.
  4. Graduates will be able to assume leadership roles in their profession and communities.
 
 
Student Outcomes (SOs):
 

The above program educational aims are achieved through assessing the program learning outcomes. The learning outcomes are represented by set of abilities and knowledge that will be gained by the student and that will be reflected in handling his career work. The student outcomes are:

SO1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

SO2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.

SO3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

SO4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

SO5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

SO6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

SO7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
