Industrial Engineering is a branch of engineering that engages in the study of how to describe, evaluate, design, modify, control, and improve the performance of integrated systems of people, materials, and technology, viewed over time and within their relevant context. Industrial engineering is unique in its blend of fundamental topics in mathematics, physical and engineering sciences knowledge with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design. This field identifies human being as central contributors to the inherent complexity of such systems. Globalization has opened up more doors for service industries worldwide, which leads to an increase demand for industrial engineers. The Industrial Engineering curriculum at BINUS UNIVERSITY is structured to adapt the movement of globalization and tailored to the needs of the globalize world.
The study program emphasizes on the application of engineering fundamentals with a balanced treatment of theory, design, and experience. Computer applications are integrated throughout the curriculum. Industrial Engineering department allows flexibility to its students to study certain topics in breadth and depth by offering three areas of concentration. The three tracks are: Supply Chain Management, Service System Engineering, and Manufacturing System.
Some of the core courses require the students to not only having a full grasp of the theoretical aspects, but also on how to implement them in a time study analysis. The Industrial Engineering facilities are well-equipped in the areas of engineering graphics, computer integrated manufacturing, industrial engineering systems design, and human performance. The laboratories and studios which are available for students to use during their study are but not limited to Computer laboratory, Physics Industry, Process Technology, Mechanical Drawing, Industrial Statistics, System Modeling and Simulation, Plant Feasibility Study, Plant Layout Design, Production Planning and Control, and Work Design and Ergonomic.
General Objective
The main objective of the Industrial Engineering study program at BINUS UNIVERSITY is to provide its students a high-quality education and relevant research which increases their capability, motivation, academic practice, work ethic, and prepare them to practice their profession and to initiate and develop leadership roles in business, industry, and government.
Specific Objective
Specifically, the study of Industrial Techniques at BINUS UNIVERSITY is intended to produce an Industrial Engineering graduate who has an insight into the technology as well as the following competences:
- High technical competence who enter industrial engineering or other professions and make assistances that benefit society, their employers, and themselves
- Broadly apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, social discipline, engineering analysis and fundamental techniques including information technology, to solve the Industrial Engineering related problems
- Able to describe, analyze, design, improve, and transform the complex systems of people, processes, and technology to meet desired needs within economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability constraints
- Continue to expand their capabilities through professional development and advanced education
- Personal integrity and firm leadership, professional etiquette, ability to take a lead role and cooperate in a multi-disciplinary team
- Communicate effectively
- Broad knowledge of contemporary issues through research and development
- Understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a global, and societal context including environmental aspects and job safety
- Apply the techniques and new analyses in progressive manufacturing technology, which is required in practicing in the field of industrial engineering
Industrial Engineering Program is about designing, modifying, controlling, and improving complex systems. Therefore, a strong basis in the “queen of the sciences”, better known as mathematics, and computer science is a must in modeling and solving such complex systems.
Core Group
The Industrial Engineering curriculum in structured in such a way that the students should master the following scientific fields: mathematics, physics, humanities / social sciences, computer science and management, general engineering sciences, industrial engineering core, lab sciences, professional engineering practice, and industrial engineering specialization.
Elective Group
The electives will be adjusted according to the latest market needs in preparing the prospective graduates to participate in and face the global market competition.
