Industrial Engineers (UMT)

The Department of Industrial Engineering has been recently established at UMT. Industrial Engineering is committed to preparing the next generation of leaders who are technically adept and globally aware. These students will truly be Industrial Engineers. Becoming an Industrial Engineer is an exciting journey that begins with undergraduate study and requires a commitment to lifelong learning and professional development.
Industrial Engineering graduates share a distinct set of attributes. World-class industrial engineers are:

• Aware of the World - Industrial Engineers are aware of the global nature of their profession, and the challenges and opportunities that it brings; they are sensitive to the cultural differences and the diversity that exists within individual cultures.
• Solidly Grounded - Industrial Engineers are solidly grounded in the fundamentals of their discipline. There solid foundation allows them to tackle complex, real-world problems and serves as the ground on which they build their knowledge and expertise through lifelong learning.
• Technically Broad - Industrial Engineers are conversant with other engineering and scientific disciplines related to their field, allowing them to work on problems that are cross-disciplinary.
• Versatile - Industrial Engineers are capable of learning new skills as they grow in their careers and of applying their engineering problem-solving skills in non-traditional fields such as financial services, healthcare, and education.
• Effective in Team Operations - Industrial Engineers are highly productive members of teams, co-located or geographically dispersed; they communicate effectively within and outside the team.
• Effective in Leadership Positions - Industrial Engineers are effective leaders at all levels, from technical team leader to CEO.
• Presently the Department of Industrial Engineering is offering Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) and there are plans for further education leading to MS and PhD.
