Curriculum Outline
 
Modern industrial engineering is a combination of basic engineering knowledge and quantitative analysis techniques to support managerial decision making. It is concerned with the efficiency in which work is performed by machines and people. Industrial engineers (IEs) use the information and techniques from physical, biological, mathematical, behavioral, and engineering sciences to plan, control, design, and manage complex manufacturing and business systems. Specifically, they utilize knowledge and principles in manufacturing systems and processes, operations research, ergonomics, and management in specifying, predicting, and evaluating the performance measures of such systems.
 
The study of industrial engineering places emphasis upon developing the student’s abilities to analyze and design systems that integrate technical, economic, and social behavioral factors in manufacturing, service, social, and government organizations. This study leads to a variety of professional opportunities in manufacturing industry, health care services, research and development, financial centers, public service enterprises, and business corporations.
 
In order to accomplish these objectives, the Industrial Engineering Program offers a curriculum that is specifically designed not only to distinguish itself from the curricula offered at other Thai universities, but is also at a standard comparable to those offered at renowned international universities. The IE curriculum offers courses that cover four major industrial engineering areas, namely, ergonomics/safety, operations research/quantitative analysis, management, and manufacturing systems. The offering of courses is carefully arranged so that those providing basic and fundamental courses are taught in the early years to build adequate technical background. Then, their applications are discussed in depth in courses presented in the later years. IE students can choose their preferred area of concentration, either “industrial engineering” or “manufacturing engineering,” in their third year. The industrial engineering option is suitable for students who like to pursue a career as an engineering consultant or system analyst for a business corporation or to continue graduate study either locally or abroad after graduation. For those who like working with industrial equipment and machines and prefer the factory environment to the business office, the manufacturing engineering option will provide them with practical knowledge and experience to help them quickly adapt themselves to their work environment.
 
In addition, IE students can also choose three optional tracks (Senior Project Track, Foreign Exchange Track and Extended Training Track).
  • Senior Project Track is for students who would like to conduct their projects under the supervision of IE faculty members.
  • Foreign Exchange Track is designed for students who wish to participate in an exchange program with foreign partner universities.
  • Extended Training Track is designed for students who would like to participate in a longer training period (for the whole semester) under a co-operative training program with companies.
