Introduction

About the Department

Industrial Engineering is a discipline that scientifically designs, operates, and improves systems consisting of people, materials, facilities, and information in all areas of society based on engineering knowledge and management scientific thinking to maximize the productivity and efficiency of the system. Industrial Engineering is the study of the harmonious direction and control of all areas of industrial systems. "Industrial engineering" can be compared to "a conductor" leading an orchestra, "a manager" assigning the correct positions and batting order to the right baseball players, "an editor" cutting and pasting articles written by various reporters, and "a field commander" leading an army to victory in battle.
