The purpose of the Industrial Engineering program is to support students in expanding their knowledge in Industrial Engineering (IE) and Operational Research (OR) to acquire skills on new topics and methods developed in this area. Students implement tools and techniques of IE & OR within the context of a comprehensive thesis. They deepen their expertise in IE & OR through course activities and thesis research, which at the same time prepare them for graduate study at doctoral level.
