Department of Industrial Engineering
Chairman’s Welcome Message

Dear prospective students, parents, guardians and staff, I am glad to introduce you to the Industrial Engineering Department here at NEU.

The field of Industrial Engineering is an inter-disciplinary occupation that integrates various unique techniques and concepts mainly for optimizing complex operations, systems and/or organization to evolve and install efficient, effective and improved systems involving people, capital, skills, information, equipment, energy and resources. Industrial engineers are unique breeds that use and apply in-depth skills of mathematics, physics, chemical sciences and those of social sciences in an appropriate mix with basic engineering techniques to assess, design, specify, predict, and evaluate various outcomes from systems and operations to envision, evolve and emerge novel systems, processes or circumstances (physical or social) for better utilization of resources (human, materials and money) and machines. Industrial engineering forms the link between management goals and operational performance.

Industrial Engineering studies lead to various sub-specialties such as operations research, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, production planning and scheduling, management science and engineering, financial and cost engineering, ergonomics or human factor engineering, safety engineering amongst others. Industrial Engineering training prepares graduates for employment in multidisciplinary sectors especially those responsible for planning and scheduling, optimizing and improving production practices in various firms be it governmental, manufacturing, research and consultancy, healthcare systems, financial institutions, tax and insurance and utility management to mention a few.

As an enrolled Industrial Engineering student at NEU, you will become a new breed that is data analytics savvy through the integration of the Department with various research groups such as the Applied Artificial Intelligence Research Centre (AAIRC). Here at NEU, the curriculum is enhanced and flexible for students to leverage their skills in cutting-edge researches that are multi-disciplinary cutting across various engineering fields such as biomedical, food, material science and nanotechnology, electrical, petroleum and gas, computer and IT, as desired by the students.

I enjoin you to surf through our webpage for further information and resources. I am glad that you are motivated and inspired to commence your Industrial Engineering career with us here at Near East University. Trust you will be highly supported in all facets as you begin your University life. Finally, we all in the Industrial Engineering Department heartily welcome and wish you all the best in your quest for future studies.

Assist. Prof. Dr. Kehinde Adewale ADESINA
Deputy Chairman of Industrial Engineering
