Introduction

The Industrial and Systems Engineering department offers a program in Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE). The Industrial and Systems Engineering program is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, and equipment; it draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design; its goals are specifying, predicting, and evaluating the results to be obtained from such systems.

This Program is offered in two options: the summer training option or Internship. Internship program is implemented in many technical universities worldwide. The student usually leaves the school for one or more semesters and joins a relevant industry, where he is exposed to real life applications of what has been taught in the school. This exposure provides the student with a more mature outlook and has a significant effect on his understanding of his role as a practicing engineer.

• Program Accreditation
