Engineering - Industrial-Engineering

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (INME) mission is to provide technically competent graduates; have basic management and inter-personal skills; and contemporary and relevant engineering education to design and improve operations in the industry, business, and government for the global economy of the 21st century; and promote life-long learning. 

The IEEM department has adopted the ABET Students Learning Outcomes (SLOs) “1 to 7” to ensure the quality of the Industrial Engineering Program Educational Objectives. Upon completion of the program graduates must attain:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. 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.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The undergraduate curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering consists of 150 credit hours of coursework + IC3 + 30 credits transferred from the Lebanese Baccalaureate or its equivalents.

Industrial engineering differs from other branches of engineering in essentially two ways. First, it applies to all types of industrial, commercial, and government activities. Second, it is a branch of engineering that is explicitly concerned with people, products, as well as processes and operations. Industrial engineers learn to make decisions concerning the best use of people, materials, and equipment in achieving organizational aims. They are spread across nearly all kinds of manufacturing. Recent data show that employment offerings are especially plentiful in manufacturing and service sectors, management consulting, chemicals, and food processing. Students develop skills in mathematics, the sciences, communications, and humanities. Therefore, an industrial engineering (IE) degree qualifies professionals for a diverse array of jobs, including Engineering Project Manager, Supply Chain and Operations Manager, Quality Engineer, Industrial Scheduling Engineer, Maintenance and Safety Engineer, Production Process Engineer, Service Process Engineer, Construction Management Engineer, and Industrial Management Engineer. A growing trend in the IE profession, especially consulting, is in the services sector of the economy such as banking, transportation, logistics, and government.

The Student’s Study Plan is provided to every IE student upon his/her enrollment. The IE curriculum consists of the following components:
