VISION
To be a strategic partner that communicates progressive knowledge of organized human activities and socio·-technical systems.
MISSION
Our mission is to:
– Strengthen partnership with relevant stakeholders
– Provide innovative teaching and learning practices
– Develop research capacity in Industrial Engineering
What is industrial engineering
Industrial engineering focuses on improving processes. Industrial engineers analyze and optimize systems such as waiting in line at a theme park, boarding an airplane, helping people at a bank, answering calls at a call center, as well as manufacturing processes such as making airplane parts, car parts, household appliances, food, soda, bottled water, and so on. Industrial engineers will have to take a wide range of support classes such as calculus, physics, chemistry, circuits, and materials engineering. Although the most important support class that an industrial engineer will take is statistics. Statistics is crucial because in the real world processes, such as time it takes to help a customer in line, often can follow some kind of distribution, (which can’t be represented by an equation as easily). Overall industrial engineering is great if you enjoy statistics, working with people, and optimizing profits and time for companies.

Central Applications Office Website (C.A.O)
Industrial Engineers design systems to enable people and society to improve productivity, efficiency and effectiveness and the quality of the work environment. The systems that are the subject of Industrial Engineering design are broad and are characterized by a need to integrate both the physical and decision making capabilities of humans, together with all other aspects of the system design.
