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.

An Industrial Engineer roles focuses on work design, quality improvement, planning and scheduling resources, modelling operation systems and ergonomic and safety in manufacturing industry and service industry (health care, theme parks, logistics). An Industrial Engineer possesses a background in mathematics and engineering principles. These technical knowledge are complemented with other non-technical knowledge such as psychology, sociology, physiology and others. In order to complete the education  in industrial engineering, the above aspects are further complemented with understanding  of the overall systems operations such as cost, quality and productivity, which constitute  the basis of any systems performance. Industrial engineering profession is an interdisciplinary in nature and can be applied in many sectors  and  in situations where cost, quality and productivity are an important criteria. Hence, an industrial engineering graduate can be employed in both industrial sector  and service sector (telecommunication, utility, healthcare, government, education, financial, etc.)

The first two years are Mechanical Engineering Engineering Courses. The last two years are concentrated on Industrial Engineering Courses. Example of Industrial Engineering Core Courses are Production Planning and Control, Work Design and Productivity, Engineering Economy and Accounting, Quality Systems, Operation Research and Safety and Engineering Management.
