Industrial Engineering
Brief Description
The Industrial Engineering programme allows graduates to address a wide range of industrial applications ensuring harmonious human-machine interfaces in manufacturing of products as well as seamless process planning. It gives training in modern computer software usage in manufacturing systems engineering, production management, facilities design, process planning and other similar work situations.
Aim and Objectives
The aim of this programme is to provide broad-based education and training in industrial engineering and its applications in order to produce world-class industrial engineering graduates with scientific knowledge as well as technical skills to enable them work in existing industrial settings, or start their own businesses. On successful completion of the programme, the
graduate shall be able to
a. Efficiently manage a manufacturing or service-providing facility.
b. Produce industrial engineers who are qualified to work in an increasingly information technology based global economy.
c. Exhibit high level of expertise in quality assurance of products and services.
d. Provide resource and outreach programmes to Ghanaian and African businesses as well as develop the concepts of professional practices, innovation and enterprise.
