COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
The Industrial Engineering Department in College of Engineering offers a single major track program “Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering" is a branch of engineering which deals with the optimization of complex processes, systems or organizations. Program mainly works to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, man-hours, machine time, energy and other resources that do not generate value. The program duration is five years divided into ten levels (semesters). The first and second levels are considered as preparatory year program prior to core academics in the department. The program has been following NCAAA standards and aspires to get ABET accreditation in near future.
