Industrial engineers are responsible for the analysis, design, planning, implementation, operation, management and maintenance of integrated systems consisting of people, money, material, equipment, information and energy. Quite a mouthful! For that reason, a person with a degree in industrial engineering has a very wide choice in terms of work environment, type of employer or self-employment. Some of the fields of application of Industrial Engineering are as follows: 1. Logistics 2. Manufacturing 3. Analytics and Synthesis 4. Managment The Department of Industrial Engineering hosts two postgraduate study domains: Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management.In each study domain there are three different programmes, i.e. the Post Graduate Diploma in Engineering (PDE), the Masters in Engineering (MEng) and Philosophy Doctorate (PhD). The delivery of the MEng programme is split into two different models, i.e. Structured and Research. These options add up to eight different possible post graduate qualifications for students in a variety of research areas.
