BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (BS) IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Dr. Ghalib Khawaji - Department Chair
gykcad@rit.edu
"RIT is 61st in the U.S. for Engineering programs"
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Industrial engineering is ideal for those who enjoy both technology and working with people. Industrial engineers frequently spend as much time interacting with other engineers and product users as they do at their desks and computers. Industrial engineers design, optimize, and manage the process by which products are made and distributed across the world as well as the way services are catered for in industries such as banking, healthcare, energy, or entertainment.
Many practitioners say that an industrial engineering education offers the best of both worlds: an education in both engineering and business. Hence, a degree in industrial engineering offers its graduates a significant opportunity for a flexible long-term career.
Because of the flexible nature of the major, the industrial engineering student can gain a breadth of knowledge in many different areas of industrial engineering, including, but not limited to, advanced manufacturing, distribution/logistics, ergonomics/human factors, modeling/simulation, and sustainable design and development. Students may choose free and professional electives for this purpose. Faculty members are committed to high-quality engineering education as well as the program's educational objectives.
The industrial engineering curriculum covers the principal concepts of engineering economics and project management, facilities planning, human performance, mathematical and simulation modeling, production control, applied statistics and quality, and contemporary manufacturing production processes that are applied to solve the challenges presented by the global environment and economy of today. The curriculum stresses the application of contemporary tools and techniques in solving engineering problems.
Starting in their third year, the students have the choice of a general degree in industrial engineering or a specialization in an option. The general degree and program options encourage a team approach. Students may work with students in other engineering disciplines to solve problems for clients outside of RIT Dubai.
It is important to mention here that given that UAE is becoming an international logistics hub and that most of the countries in the region are diversifying their non-oil industrial bases, the need for logistics engineer, supply chain analyst, production planner, quality engineer, and maintenance engineer will necessarily continue to grow to support and sustain the industrial development observed in the Gulf region. Industrial Engineering graduates from RIT Dubai can use their technical base as a springboard to careers in management, consulting, manufacturing, sales, healthcare, law, and education.
CO-OP INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Our Co-op Internship program ensures that a student graduates with practical experience of working with industry and gains valuable contacts, networks, and skills that give him/her a competitive edge in the engineering field.
