The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. The program is accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways for an organization to make a product or provide a service. They design, improve, and install systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. Industrial engineers are the bridge between management goals and operational performance because they are concerned with increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business, and technology. Industrial engineers often move into top management positions because of their management skills and holistic view of the organization.

The vision of Industrial Engineering at ALHOSN University is to be first-ranked nationally and recognized regionally as one of the leading programs in education and research in industrial engineering.

The mission of the Industrial Engineering program at ALHOSN University is to produce graduates with the creativity, knowledge and skills they need to design, model, analyze, implement, improve and manage production systems that include humans, materials, equipments, and other resources for manufacturing and service sectors and prepare them for successful careers in the field of industrial engineering.

The fundamental premise of the Industrial Engineering Program is to provide its students with a broad and high quality education in mechanical engineering that will enable them to apply the principles of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
The goals of the Industrial Engineering Program are to provide students with:

• PG-1:  A comprehensive education in the first two years in physical sciences, mathematics, engineering sciences and design.
• PG-2:  A measure of specialization in the third and fourth year through core and technical elective courses in the areas of Manufacturing system, Risk Assessment, Quality Control and Management, Production/Services engineering and Management, Engineering design, Simulation Modeling and Operations Research.
• PG-3:  An exposure to complementary studies subjects including engineering economics, engineering management, project management, and communication skills.
• PG-4:  An exposure to engineering work environments and roles, which is emphasized by the INTERNSHIP program.

Consistent with its commitment to provide its graduates with a solid foundation in mathematical, scientific and industrial engineering broad-based knowledge, systematic thinking and effective communication skills, and develop their engineering creativity and curiosity, professional ethics, as well as an environmental and a societal consciousness that will serve them throughout their lifetime, graduates of the Industrial Engineering Program at ALHOSN University are expected to be able to:

• PEO-1:  Practice their Industrial Engineering profession with professionalism and ethical responsibilities and use effective communication and teamwork for excellence.
• PEO-2:  Demonstrate the broad nature of industrial engineering disciplines, research, find more information when needed, self-learn and show that university education is only the beginning of a lifelong learning process.
• PEO-3:  Pursue successful careers in their profession or graduate studies if so desired.

The undergraduate industrial Engineering curriculum includes a foundation of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Engineering courses in fundamental areas constitute the core of the remaining curriculum. Several technical electives allow the undergraduate student to specialize somewhat or to pursue broader understanding. An internship program embeds the junior students to real-world working engineering environments. A senior capstone design experience culminates the curriculum.
The articulated BSIE program outcomes shall lead to the satisfaction of all program educational objectives and embed ABET outcomes (a-k) and the industrial engineering program criteria. Upon completion of AHU Industrial Engineering Program, graduates shall have:

• PO-A:  an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering [ABET (a)]

The BSIE degree includes a mandatory training/internship component of one summer semester at the end of the third year of the program (at least 4-week duration full-time or equivalent). This training provides practical on-the-job experience to compliment the university classroom studies. The training/internship is an integral component of the degree program. This work experience helps students develop an understanding of the industry that will need them in their professional capacity in the near future. It will allow students to see the transition between the classroom and the field and creates an aptitude so they can see the big picture of the industry that they will be required to serve and lead. The industrial training/internship program has the specific objective of providing students with the ability to function within the engineering community and the society at large and to lead the society in developing technologies that are environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. Through this program, students will acquire first-hand knowledge of the modus operandi of companies and ascertain the value of their theoretical knowledge when applied to real-world situations. This will create a unique opportunity for students to demonstrate their ability as a professional engineer and secure a track record before even graduating.

Industrial engineers deal with the optimization of complex processes or systems. They can develop, design, implement, improve, and evaluate integrated systems comprised of people, materials, information, money, knowledge, equipment, energy. Industrial engineering draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. IE's can develop a better way of doing just about anything. Industrial engineering has grown to encompass any methodical or quantitative approach to optimizing how a process, system, or organization operates. Traditionally associated in large part with planning the layouts of factories and designing assembly lines and other manufacturing likes, today industrial engineering has moved to also work for eliminating wastes of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.

Industrial engineers get jobs as production engineers, supply chain managers, operations analysts, quality engineers and information system specialists. They work for just about any business or company that wants a better product.
Many IE's start their companies or go into consulting. Industrial engineering is challenging, rewarding, and full of opportunity, there is almost no limit to the places you can go with a degree in industrial engineering.

• Process engineer: define proper work methods and processes and ways to measure the performance of these processes. In addition, perform continuous improvement activities to improve capacity and solve problems.
• Operations engineer/manager: utilizing all resources efficiently and effectively with cost and performance in mind. The need for operation engineers is on the rise: starting from plants, hospitals, hotels, and educational systems.
• Quality/Reliability engineer: verifying that products and services meet customer requirement over the useful life of the product.
• Production engineer: optimization of incoming and outgoing material including in-house inventory, managing resources, and maintaining schedules to meet required production and distribution schedules.
• Manufacturing engineer: work on developing and optimizing methods to manufacture products.
• Safety, human factor or ergonomics engineer: look for better ways to design products, tools and processes according to human capability.
• Project manager: manage projects by mapping out who does what, when, and how it can be done more efficiently. Form and direct teams to work toward a specific task and objectives.
• Supply chain engineers: manage supplier relationships, supplier cost and performance, and work with outsourcing to ensure product or service quality, delivery and cost are on target.
• Strategic planning engineer: develop long range planning models and identify anticipated investments, develop preliminary financial impacts including profitability and ROI.
• Financial engineer: determine production and service cost, forecast and develop budgets, and perform cost benefit analysis for prospective projects.

In addition to ALHOSN University general requirements the mechanical engineering program has explicit admissions and retention policies consistent with high quality undergraduate studies. As a new born program, the mechanical engineering program is committed to excellence and its goal is to attract motivated and up-to-the-challenge students to build a strong reputation. In particular, the grades achieved in math and sciences will be critical in granting admission on a competitive basis; with a minimum grade of 65% in math and sciences strictly required. Moreover candidate students will have to demonstrate their inclination/interest for science and engineering in an admission interview.
Students with math and science grades at 60% level and demonstrated interest for the mechanical engineering profession could be accepted on probation for a period of one year. The students on probation must maintain a minimum of C (2.0) average during the probation period of one year in order to remove the probation status.
