SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY - VIETNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HCMC

Program Objectives and Student Outcomes

  1. Be practicing engineers in the field of production and services, who are able to:

    (i) Design or redesign industrial systems

    Create new designs for industrial systems in production and service from small to medium size. For some exceptional cases, contemporary design for large systems will also be considered

    Analyze and research existing systems of production and service to see whether they need redesigning or not to increase productivity and efficiency.

    (ii) Operate and manage industrial systems

    Operating Industrial Systems in production and services by efficiently combining all system’s resources (people, finance, machines, ….)

    (iii) Improve the existing industrial systems

    Detecting, simulating, and getting results to determine optimization indexes for new products and services. Propose necessary changes to improve existing systems.

    (iv) Support for wise decision making

    Analyze, evaluate, and simulate managing models to give alteration solutions as single-criteria and multi-criteria for supporting managers in making decision

  2. Engage in lifelong learning to maintain and enhance professional skills
  3. Work effectively with people and demonstrate leadership, professional skills, and ethical behavior in the workplace
  4. Fulfill the needs of the community and industrial sector of Vietnam in solving technical and management problems using industrial and systems engineering principles, tools, and techniques.
