The Master Program in Industrial Engineering is a branch of science dealing with collection of methodological tools brought together to achieve an integrated approach to solve problems in engineering and management, with quality and/or productivity improvement as its overall objective. Industrial engineering concerns with design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. 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 to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. Unlike other engineering disciplines, industrial engineering is defined by the methodological tools used rather than the areas of application.
