Industrial Engineering

The Industrial Engineering (IE) is a discipline specializing in design, operation, and analysis of integrated production systems (manufacturing and service systems) that consist of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. This discipline is a multi-engineering discipline where engineering and technology sciences, social and operation management sciences, and industrial engineering sciences and tools interconnected to provide an engineering profession capable to solve complicated system assuring the system high performance, productivity, flexibility, and producing products or services with improved  quality at cost control.

The specialization of industrial engineering is characterized by skills and knowledge that are aligned with the vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2030 and the strategic directions of the governmental and private sectors that seek to develop and operate industrial and service systems. Therefore, industrial engineering offer founded engineering discipline that implement the vision projects and initiatives in all industrial and service sectors and play a strong role in planning, design, and operating those systems.

The program offers High quality, up-to-date and internationally recognized program. It is prepared to contain different disciplines courses related to industrial engineering. It is based on scientific and technological foundations, integrated knowledge, and skills of the applied sciences, engineering sciences, and industrial engineering sciences. The program is built on solid mathematics, basic sciences and engineering sciences core, in addition to industrial engineering courses in production and manufacturing, ergonomics, human factors and safety, operation management, operations research, engineering economics, quality engineering, reliability, facilities planning and materials handling. It includes electives in operation systems, Manufacturing Systems, and human factor systems. The program includes senior design courses in which students apply principles and knowledge acquired through the curriculum to an actual industrial problem. In addition, the program is supported with strong field experience training though co-op program.

The graduate will be equipped with a broad technical background and the necessary analytical and experimental skills to identify, formulate, and solve complex problems applied in various systems such as production and Manufacturing Systems, operation systems, and human systems and many other systems. In addition, it gives the student the flexibility to pursue careers in variety of manufacturing and service organizations and work in related job functions in consulting, industry (manufacturing and services), government and academia.

The IE program at Al Yamamah University has four years of study after a first preparation year.  To obtain the B.Sc. degree in Industrial Engineering, the student must successfully complete 133 credit hours. The IE requirements include 14 credit hours in General Education, 30 credit hours in Mathematics and Basic Sciences, 13 credit hours in Engineering Sciences, 64 credit hours in Industrial Engineering core courses, 6 credit hours in Industrial Engineering elective courses, and 6 credit hours through Co-op Training.
