Course Objectives: The objectives of the course are to:
CO 1: Introduce Industrial Engineering as a profession.
CO 2: Let students understand objectives, scope and general approach of industrial engineering.
CO 3: Provide the students with an early experience to communicate effectively and work well on teams, prepare a scientific written report, and present it.

The main objective of the course is to provide basic concepts and methods of industrial engineering (IE) through team-based hands-on activities. A brief overview of some selected topics like: History of IE, systems approach, quality management, manufacturing engineering, operations research, engineering economy, etc. will be given and discussed through group projects. In this course, students will engage in various methodologies, processes, techniques, and tools related with IE.

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
I. Define the scope of IE
II. Conduct team work
III. Prepare basic scientific reports
IV. Give short presentations related to IE topics
