Mechanical Mechanical-Materials Mechanical-Industrial Mechanical-Manufacturing Mechanical-Aeronautics Mechanical-Automotive Mechanical-Marine Technology Industrial Design

Industrial Degree awarded: Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical-Industrial) Technology and all other resources need to be handled in an integrated and efficient manner either to produce a product or a service. Industrial Engineering concentrates on assembly activities and those of improving the performance of an integrated system involving man, material and machine. This activity requires specific knowledge and expertise in physical, engineering and social sciences together with principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate results that can be obtained from a system. Technology and all other resources need to be handled in an integrated and efficient manner either to produce a product or a service. Industrial Engineering concentrates on assembly activities and those of improving the performance of an integrated system involving man, material and machine. This activity requires specific knowledge and expertise in physical, engineering and social sciences together with principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate results that can be obtained from a system. A Industrial Engineer focuses on work design, planning, management and control in the industry. An Industrial Engineer possesses a background in mathematics and engineering principles. These are complemented to cover knowledge in human factors with psychology,

sociology, physiology and others. In order to complete the education in industrial engineering, the above aspects are further complemented with understanding of the organisational operations of industries, cost, quality and productivity, which constitute the basis of any industrial activity. Industrial engineering is wider than the conventional engineering and is interdisciplinary in nature and can be applied in many places and situations where cost, quality and productivity are important. Hence, an industrial engineering graduate can be employed in both the industrial sector (small, medium and large) and the service sector (government, education, financial, etc.)

Field Of Study - Industrial Engineering Industrial Engineering covers studies in the design, installation, control and performance improvement of an integrated system which includes man, material and machine. The field of study includes :a) Operations Study Operations Study is divided into deterministic and stochastic categories. This field involves modelling of problems using tools such as simplex, tasking and transportation. This subject also covers operational problems which essentially involve probability such as queuing line and simulation models. All these methods aim to arrive at an optimum solution for an organisation. b) Ergonomics and Safety Ergonomics is concerned with the study of man and workplace relationship, including tools and the environment. All these must be designed to satisfy and ease man. Closely related is industrial safety where attention is given to the aspects of the safety of workers, work tools, machines and workers’ health. c) Quality Engineering Quality Engineering is a field that is involved in controlling and improving product and service quality. Statistical methods including Statistical Process Control (SPC) are used to control quality. In addition, Failure Mode Engineering Analysis (FMEA), Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques are also introduced. d) Production Planning and Control Production needs to be controlled using a production planning and control system. Students will be exposed to forecasting, inventory control, scheduling and facility planning activities. e) Work Study and Facility Planning Work study involves work method improvement that is best for the worker. A good work system will improve productivity. Facility planning on the other hand is the design of facility layout and determination of location. Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) technique is used to design a good layout design.
